Good Monday my friends. Well, we have arrived in 2022. And, I bet even though it is only January 3rd, you’ve already hit the ground running.
I wanted to just remind you though to just breath and take a moment to find your center. Finding that place of complete grounding is really important early on in any new experience. This is a really important component, so that you are able to hear and receive the voice of God. So, cool your jets.
As we embark on the next 15 weeks of deliberate work, we have to recognize that 2021 may have left some of us with some real emotional hurt and pain. And although it may have followed you into 2022, be reminded that you have the opportunity to begin to set clear and deliberate boundaries.
Allow yourself the privilege to set clear boundaries for yourself and for others. Take hold of 2022 before it takes hold of you. You don’t have to settle in on the year, you have to allow God to help you be settled. I am an advocate of single word responses when it is appropriate- “no means no” and “yes means yes”- no commentary necessary. Don’t do the same thing you did less than a week ago. Allow people to see your growth really quickly in setting clear boundaries.
As the Word says in Isaiah 43:19, God will do a new thing in your life. Can you not perceive it? He is making a way in the wilderness and streams in the dry lands and in areas of your life. It’s all going to be better. You just have to be intentional in the work that is necessary. And you can begin to perceive it once you get some of the same old holding you down stuff out the way!
You can’t become weary, you have to be willing to set the tone for this year. I’m excited about the work that we shall embark on. I’m ready and hope you are too. This will be an exceptional year and an intentional process and preparation for us all.
We have the skillset and abilities to make life prosperous in the new things God has prepared for us. So, let’s get to work.
Amen and Amen.
Would like to pray with me? Let’s pray together.
Hello There God!
This is our first Monday of a brand new year. Many of us have awaited this moment to begin with a fresh slate.
We are before you as a new canvass waiting for you to write for us the plans for our lives within our minds and hearts.
We pray that we avail ourselves even the more this year postured for preparation and position for purpose. We don’t want a single opportunity to be lost.
We desire to bring you greater glory with our lives.
Thank for every moment God in advance. Thank you for every opportunity to be stretched, pulled, tugged, and pushed. We are definitely ready. Thank you for your grace and thank you for your love.
This is a season that we are ready for pruning, reaping, and harvesting. We are so excited what this time of will yield in our lives.
Amen and Amen.
Conclusion…
I am truly grateful that you checked in on this 1st Monday of 2022. We will begin our sessions bright and early next Monday, January 10th. Over the next 15 weeks we will take an even deeper dive in understanding ourselves mind, body, and spirit and how all that interconnects in our relationship with our Creator. So, come back and join me next week on Rev. Margaret’s Monday Moments Podcast. God bless.
