Dear LifeSpring Family,
Most of us know the universal acronym S.O.S means Save Our Souls or Save Our Ship.
However, it currently means ‘Strengthen Our Soul’ to me. This is because I am in a course to Strengthen Our(My) Soul. Power To Change (P2C) has made this course available to all staff because Soul Care has been the primary focus of P2C as we transition out of the pandemic.
The first assignment centres on the 3 Ps – Page, Person and Plan. I wanted to share the first P: Page with the LifeSpring family.
This is the place where you are invited to reflect, connect, and be intentional about building a framework to support your soul’s growth. It is about journaling and listening prayer. This is a spiritual discipline that some of us are already practising. So as you join me on the journey of journaling and listening prayer, here are some prompts to reflect on as you journal.
- Which scriptures have spoken to you most about the soul?
- What has been the condition of your own soul recently?
- What’s a metaphor or an object that reflects how your soul is doing right now? A few examples are:
- Do you feel like parched soil?
- Are there cobwebs and dust where fresh breezes used to blow?
- Are you sensing yourself immersed in God, like swimming deep underwater?
Share your reflections with a close friend and at the same time, inquire about the health of their soul.
Shalom
Jerry
