This is a dreadful day for you. You may have some difficult decisions. You may be failing. Perhaps you have suffered a loss. You want out.

How do you get through this day?  It will not be easy. However, there is a way out – go through it.

You may not be able to control what’s facing you today. But, there are 4 areas of daily care that you can control today. Take a little time to consciously practice caring for yourself in each area. Before long, you will have come through this challenging day.

4 Areas of Daily Care 

  1. Care for Your Spirit. Your inner person or spirit deserves the best care possible. Make prayer a priority each day. Prayer does not have to be a formal event. It simply involves communicating your heart to God. You can do it at anytime and anywhere (I Thessalonians 5:17).
  2. Care for Your Soul. Your mind, will, and emotions all make up your soul. Strained relationships can cause strained emotions. Take an occasional break from the demands of your day. Avoid negative behaviors and people(Colossians 3:8-9). Find help with a counselor or pastor if you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed.
  3. Care for Your Body. Your body is the outer layer of you. Just as too much attention to it may result in shallowness, not enough attention could be detrimental. Eat a healthy meal. Take a nap. Enjoy a relaxing bath. Your body is worthy of respect(I Corinthians 6:19).
  4. Care for Someone Else. You’ve taken the time to care for yourself.  Now, look beyond yourself to care for someone else (Philippians 2:4). It could be a kind word to a stranger. Send an encouraging text. Hug someone. Remember that you are here for a purpose that is much larger than yourself!

Finally…Be at Peace.
