Have you ever approached your day in a way in which you can dedicate it to God? In which every action that comes from you, no matter how small, can be given to God?
I learned about this from a friend who is a young mom with little children and all kinds of responsibilities going on. (I think many of us can relate to this) On this specific day, I walked into her house and seeing how much she had to do I asked her what she needed help with. She mentioned that she was testing a new way of doing things that week.
She told me that she had been complaining for weeks about her tasks and her never ending lists. She knows that God knew she was grudgingly doing all of these things with a terrible attitude and very little patience for herself and those around her.
She told me that she had prayed about it and She had a strong feeling to turn her heart away from herself and instead be prayerful about which task to complete first. Then she felt she should DEDICATE EACH TASK TO GOD. She said that she could tell the difference in something as simple as washing the dishes, reading to her children, cleaning her home, etc.
I was inspired by her example and prayed that God would help me to be more mindful about dedicating each task to Him. I noticed the difference in myself that week and and I think it’s time for me to practice this again this week. I invite you to do this as well and notice the difference in yourself.
Not everything will turn out perfectly, obviously. But the fact that we’re willing to make a promise to God that we will try to dedicate our thoughts, actions and tasks to Him is a beautiful way for us to align ourselves to MORE of His Divine light. Where we can feel it ONE MOMENT AT A TIME allowing it to flow with us throughout the day. It’s as if we’re caring a little prayer or dedication in our hearts throughout the day. A way of honoring Him for giving us the ability, health and energy to complete each task. Having gratitude for the opportunity to be trusted to care for ourselves and ourselves and our God given families.
So, today I invite you to keep a prayer in your heart and to dedicate each task that you have to do, to God. Consider being a present and attentive channel of divine love and light today. In every small thing you make, create something beautiful for God and be willing to be an instrument of love and peace for him.
Ask God to bless the hands of your work, to remind you that you do not walk alone but that He can bless your hands to do good for yourself and others today. Ask Him to bless your eyes with the sight to see Him in the tasks that are ahead. To let all the work that you do, be done with God in the fabric of your actions and transactions. Reminding yourself that your work is also God’s work.
Ask Him to bless the steps of your path that you may know what should be done next and next, and how to stay in the flow of grace. So that He may show you where to go and where to be. That your steps may be His steps today. Ask him to bless your mouth so that you may speak in kindness and love to yourself and those around you. To allow God to speak through you and to help you raise the vibrations of those around you.
Allow Him to be in your heart, to give love, to be filled with gratitude, humility, kindness and to keep in your heart all that is good and all that allows God to reside with you. Finally, ask Him that you may be an instrument for his peace. That in the small moments of your day, you may come from a place of serenity and peace. That your thoughts and actions may bring a sense of calm and peace to others and to the world around you.
Remind yourself today that in each step and with each breath you are an instrument of peace, love, and light. Acting, connecting and feeling as the hands and feet of the divine. You’re a child of God. You already have Divinity within you. It is part of you and you have the chance to practice flowing in that Divinity each moment at a time 🙂 God loves you! He has a perfect plan for you. All things are in His hand. Including YOU!
He wants to invite you to feel His presence more often throughout your day. So, allow yourself to be open to Him and notice what a difference it will make today. Each task, each moment, each thought…Your thoughts, Mind, heart, body and soul centered on Him will make all the difference. This is our spiritual goal for the week.
Our physical goal is to give ourselves at least 3 days of exercise this week and to choose nutrient rich foods. 😉
Love you all and hope that you can make it tonight at 6:30 for an amazing opportunity to do something to strengthen our Body, Mind and Spirit. The hardest thing is always showing up, but once you’re there you’ll be able to enjoy the sunset, connect to yourself and to God and feel the difference.
Love,
Lili
