Reflective Essay On Day With God

5/63. When meditating throughout the morning, challenged me into spending more time with Lord before I start my day. This was a good discipline for me because I needed to not frantically rush to get up but to spend time with the Lord. This made me feel more rejuvenated and prepared for my day to begin. In my opinion, my discipline success within meditating in the morning was difficult. However, I feel that it was very auspicious with each morning and for days to come. My biggest challenges were clearly shown on Tuesday’s within both weeks. This was because of having baseball practice in the morning before school. I admit I did fail both of these days. I struggled waking up at five thirty and to rush to practice. Without those days, I felt I

Reading and reflecting off many verses including Psalm 23 and many more transition very well with my first discipline. In my opinion, this was a very good choice because of the fact that I am beginning my day with God and ending my day with God. This helps me give control to God with my day and my rest. I felt that this was very successful and more easier than the other two. In order to be consistent with this discipline, I needed to go asleep a little sooner and have a sticky note near my bed. The only real challenge was going to bed and giving control and my worries to God. Looking back at my green sheet, I did say that the hardest part would be going to bed a constant time even through the weekend. The weekend days were the hardest part because of the fact of my sleep schedule leading off to 2-3 am. This discipline molded myself into concentrating more on realizing God will lead me throughout a new day in the morning. This has really helped me progress on giving and thanking God for the day. I have learned to be patient, quiet, and show gratitude towards God. Going back to Psalm 23, it tells “He restores my soul, and leads us to the path of righteousness.” This is the main verse I focused on throughout my two weeks: it made me realize that God is much bigger than us and that he is ultimately in control over my life. This verse comforted myself and caused me to relax at night. Additionally, having meditating in the morning and the evening took a intianitive in my

Banishing my phone from my room has shown me many things spiritually and mentally. At a successful standpoint, I did fail one day during the evening by habit with my alarm. Otherwise, I felt I did better than I thought I was going to. The biggest challenges in this discipline was not watching netflix, going to bed earlier, and not just going on my phone to past time out of boredom. These challenges really mad it tough for me not to give in and take my phone into my room. Overall with my phone not being in my room helped me be more successful with my other disciplines by printing out Psalm 23, and not using as much technology. When I first picked this discipline, I felt I was going to struggle and give into not being able to follow through with it. I also wrote down not to use my phone as an alarm and an excuse for staying up later. I surprised myself with the results of this discipline. I felt this one by far helped me with spiritual discipline and spiritual/physical rest. I questioned myself the day of banishing my phone, “How often do I go on my phone while I am in my room? Will this be change for the better?” This has molded me into a different way of thinking and discipline. This brings me to my title, talking about the process. Getting up earlier, having no phone in my room, and lastly ending my day with the Lord in a good way. This has showed me the process of completing things and how it has slightly changed my two weeks in new ways. Going into this project, I
