Set the reset button. Maybe you’re not satisfied with your prayer life, and your dissatisfaction gets in the way of growing in prayer. It seems like an unending cycle. Because of where you are or where you’ve been in your prayer life, you feel insufficient to move forward. So you stay stuck…or, more likely, you regress or retreat. Without intentionally doing something, you’ll lose ground.

But you don’t have to. Take a deep breath, look around, and set the reset button.

You don’t know where to find the reset button? You probably know more than you think. Where can you take a deep breath and exhale with a sense of relief or satisfaction? Outside among the trees and flowers? Sitting in a quiet place? Hearing your favorite worship song?

You know what returns you to that simple relationship with God, where it’s just you and Him, where you appreciate His grandness. It doesn’t have to be your dream vacation spot. God puts refreshment within your reach. When you need it, He provides it. It’s not about your own preferences and terms; it’s according to God. And He cares about you. He pays attention to your needs. Stop trying to take control and doing it your own way.

Yield to God and let Him refresh you. Go to Him today and breathe deeply in His presence. When you press the reset button, you will not get rid of all your problems, but you will face them with a renewed approach. Don’t keep trying to do things the same way and being surprised when you get the same results. Make a change today…and repeat every day as needed.
