In today’s fast-paced world, where the demands of work, family, and household tasks intertwine in a complex dance, finding time for spiritual growth can feel like trying to untangle a tightly wound knot. Many yearn to start their day with devotionals or end it with a moment of quiet prayer. Yet, as the sun sets on another busy day, they may find themselves asking, “Where do I fit this into my routine?” If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. In fact, searches like “Bible study for the work from home essential oil enthusiast,” “early morning journaling,” or “how to fit reading the Bible into a busy life” are becoming increasingly common. The quest for a sustainable rhythm of ongoing spiritual engagement is real and deeply felt.
Why Time Slips Away
Living the work-from-home lifestyle can be both a blessing and a challenge. On one hand, it offers flexibility and the comfort of being closer to our loved ones. On the other hand, it blurs the lines between professional pursuits and personal growth. Often, spiritual practices can feel like one more box to check, rather than the source of refreshment they are intended to be.
But why do these moments slip away? More often than not, it’s because they’re placed at the end of an already packed day. Imagine trying to squeeze a life-giving prayer into the corner of a ticking clock—it simply won’t fit!
Creating Space for God
To engage fully with our spiritual lives, we must be intentional about weaving these moments into our daily rhythms. One way to do this is to identify the “in-between” spaces in your day—those little pockets of time that aren’t always accounted for. Whether it’s the moments before your first cup of coffee or the quiet after when the evening settles in, these times can become sacred.
The Early Start
Many find that starting the day with even ten minutes of reflection sets a hopeful tone for the hours ahead. It might mean waking up slightly earlier, but it’s worth it when you use your favorite essential oils like Peppermint or Lemon to invigorate your senses before diving into scripture. These oils not only clear your mind but also create an inviting atmosphere for spiritual listening.
Journaling as Reflection
Journaling isn't just for capturing thoughts—it's a tangible way to process scripture and talk to God about what’s on your heart. Carving out moments to journal can transform your day and offer clarity amongst chaos. Consider using Lavender as a calming companion during this time to enhance focus and peaceful writing.
Nurturing a Nightly Habit
As night falls and the world begins to quiet, use these precious minutes to wind down spiritually. Engage in prayer or read a short devotional that re-centers your heart and mind. Incorporating calming oils such as Peace & Calming ensures that your mind relaxes, paving the way for a restful sleep.
Building a Sustainable Rhythm
The goal is not to overwhelm yourself but to create a sustainable spiritual rhythm. Begin by setting small, achievable goals. Over time, as these spiritual practices turn into habits, they become an integral, life-giving part of your routine. Embrace the process and remember that it’s less about the quantity of time and more about the quality of connection.
The journey to spiritual fulfillment is ongoing, and each step you take builds upon the last. Embrace the small victories and trust that God uses these moments to draw you closer to Him.
