Day 82 Assignment
This evening (or tomorrow morning):
- Read NTI Mark 5 (v21-34) to the end of the chapter.
- Consider what Jesus said to the woman suffering from unworthiness: “You are like a jewel that shines bright before the eyes of our Lord, only you have been unaware of your brightness. It is within you, awaiting only your recognition and welcome.”
- Contemplate that your current level of consciousness can be raised by seeing yourself more favorably than you do now. Write one sentence to a few sentences that are kind and gentle with you in the same way Jesus was kind and gentle with this woman.
If you generally see yourself in a favorable way now, ask within to find where you judge yourself and write one or more sentences that address that area of disfavor.
If you are unable to find anything that you judge in yourself, write one or more sentences of encouragement to yourself. Write whatever you feel will be helpful at this time.
Tomorrow:
- At a time that is convenient for you, set a timer for 10 minutes; temporarily let go of thought about what is going on with your life, and settle in with the calling to go deeper within.
- At least 8 times during the day, pause for a few moments and reflect on your sentence(s) from #3 above.
