Many of us detox to cleanse our body, I like to think I also cleanse my soul.   Daily I challenge myself to slow down, pray, and center myself on Jesus.  As I slow down my core beliefs and values are strengthened.  

Personally, I don’t have a set time that I cleanse my soul but it is something I do daily.  I have a routine, but I stay flexible and in the moment so as not to miss out on an opportunity to serve Jesus.

I work at having a synergistic perspective from the inside out, looking to mirror compassion and love on the inside with my actions on the outside.  People may not know that I am a follower of Jesus, but I hope they see compassion and love.

It is a decision I make to slow down and find the time to cleanse my soul.  Not to be confused with being lazy, this is a time when I reconnect with what is most important to me.  A time to fully engage in prayer, blocking out the everyday chaos. 

Some people use prayer lists, I have a “favorites” file in my cell phone photos that I use during my prayer time.  Some photos rotate throughout the year, others are always in the file.  The file helps me center my thoughts on those I am praying for and is a great visual to keep me focused.  I have additional people I pray for without photos, but it is a great tool for me to center my thoughts daily.

Yes, I pray my way through the day and give thanks to Jesus.  However, the time I spend focusing specifically on prayer is non-negotiable each day.  I like to start my day with focused prayer, but sometimes opportunity is such that my focused prayer is moved later in the day.

I center myself on Jesus because serving him is my priority.  As I slow down and focus on prayer inner peace cleanses my soul.
