Here are gentle ways to remain present with God, even when everything else feels heavy. You don\u2019t have to do all of these; try one, or even just one line.<\/p>\n
Write down your emotions, prayers, and doubts. Hand them over to God without trying to fix anything.<\/p>\n
2. Use Worship Music<\/strong><\/p>\n Let it play softly in the background; you don\u2019t have to focus, just be.<\/p>\n 3. Read Short, Heartfelt Verses<\/strong><\/p>\n One verse at a time, slowly, without expectation of memorisation or deep insight.<\/p>\n 4. Speak Simple Truths to God<\/strong><\/p>\n Even if it\u2019s, \u201cGod, I don\u2019t have the energy, but I still want You.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n 5. Rest in His Presence<\/strong><\/p>\n Sometimes abiding is simply sitting quietly and acknowledging that He\u2019s near.<\/p>\n Even when your energy is low, there are ways to practice abiding in God when running on empty.<\/p>\n Check out \u2018Discover True Rest\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n 6. Guided Meditation<\/strong><\/p>\n When you can\u2019t muster even the strength to meditate<\/a> on the Word, then guided meditation is perfect. I use the Abide App<\/a>; they have lots of meditations, from daily devotions to sleep ones, from 2 minutes to 30 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n 7.
