Dreams
Since I returned from the trip, I’ve noticed my sleep has been unusually deep and intense. My dreams feel full of invasive stories, some of them familiar, like nightmares, but this time there’s a new layer to them. Despite the heaviness, I can sense the Holy Spirit moving through it all. I’ve found myself praying unconsciously, even before I fully wake up. And today, during one of the more stressful dreams, I heard a clear voice offering guidance continuously. It felt like divine intervention.
Phone
I’ve gotten so much better at not using my phone before bed, ever since Riley and I started reading the Bible and praying together, that habit has been replaced with something far more nourishing. But during the day, especially when I’m in work mode, I still feel uneasy and anxious. That often leads me to reach for my phone, as if it’s the most accessible form of comfort my body can find.
But when I stand in the presence of God, I realize the phone doesn’t bring any peace. It’s just a distraction, a habit rooted in false security. There are many layers behind this behavior. I did some study this morning, and being able to reflect and analyze myself has been helpful in starting to break free.
One thing I noticed is that my heart is often reaching for connection, understandable, since I spend a lot of time alone. And while I truly enjoy my solitude, part of my pride and ego still craves being seen and acknowledged by others. I see that now.
So here is my prayer:
Oh my King, the King of the universe, since the day I drew breath, I have been Yours. You see all my deeds and all my thoughts. I was never “nobody”, I am a child of God. I don’t need to seek approval or applause from the world, because Your love already gives me everything I need. I choose to live in this truth You have given me.
And thank You, Holy Spirit, for giving me this inspiration. Every time I feel the urge to reach for my phone, I choose instead to journal, and to reconnect with You.
