Yesterday was my first day back in pulpit after a month’s long sabbatical. I started on Friday with a mild cold. So as I entered service I was being mindful of two things:
- I was mindful to keep practicing the new rhythm of prayer I am working into. I started early and made sure to pull away for some quiet time before service and then again after service before going home.
- I was mindful to manage my energy throughout the service. I found myself trying to be quieter through the worship portion of service to conserve energy for the sermon. By the time service was finished I was so ready for a nap so after a few minutes of private prayer I just went home and crashed for an hour. When I woke up I didn’t even know where I was.
HERE’S A QUESTION; WHAT ARE SOME STEPS YOU TAKE TO MANAGE YOUR ENERGY?
