Looking for a summer that’s less frantic and more faith-filled? Let this be a season where your soul breathes easy and your heart tunes in to the gentle whisper of God. These 10 simple, spirit-centered practices are your invitation to slow down, look up, and live with holy intention.
🌅 1. Mornings = Me + God Time
Before the texts and to-do lists start rolling in, gift yourself 5 minutes of quiet. No screens. No pressure. Just you, God, and the sunrise.
🌬️ 2. Breathe Between the Busy
Create pockets of pause between the day’s chaos. Stretch, breathe, or say a quick “thank You, Lord.” That margin = magic.
🎉 3. Celebrate the Tiny Joys
Don’t miss the good stuff—like the perfect iced coffee, a dragonfly on your porch, or a spontaneous hug. Spot it. Smile at it. Savor it.
🎶 4. Let the Music Move You
Make a “soulful summer” playlist—nature sounds, acoustic worship, whatever soothes your spirit. Press play on peace.
🎧 5. Fill Your Ears with Encouragement
While folding laundry or cruising to the beach, tune into a devotional podcast or calming meditation (shoutout to Abide). Ditch the noise. Embrace the nourishment.
📝 6. Grab-and-Go Gratitude Journal
Catch God’s goodness in real time. Jot it down as it happens—a laugh, a breeze, a silent prayer answered. Small but sacred.
🧘 7. Let Go to Let God
Each day, drop one thing—a worry, a task, a guilty “yes.” Ask: Does this add to my peace or take it away?
📵 8. Ditch the Devices (Just for a Bit)
Unplug for an hour (or a whole day!). Turn off the noise. Let your soul rest and reset. Jesus did it. So can you.
🚶 9. Pray as You Stroll
Take a walk and invite God along. Talk to Him. Listen. Pray over your people. Let your footsteps become a holy rhythm.
🕯️ 10. End the Day in Sacred Stillness
Light a candle. Read a Psalm. Whisper a prayer. Let your soul exhale before bed. Bonus: try an Abide evening meditation to drift off with God on your mind.
This summer, don’t just make memories—make meaning.
Let your days be sprinkled with sacred simplicity and Spirit-filled joy. ✨
