Recharging stations to your spirit

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord! (Psalm 31:24 ESV)

Inspiration infuses you with renewed zest for life. It influences, moves, or guides you to action. But we all have times when we hit the inspiration skids; when we not only lack inspiration but might even doubt that we’ll ever feel inspired again.

When you feel like you’ve lost inspiration or hope or like the wind has gone out of your sails and you don’t know how you’re going to get it back, there are some things that can help. God created many things that can boost our sense of well-being and reignite our inspiration flame.

Whether you’re trying to make it through a tough spot or seeking a creative boost for a project, these sources of inspiration can serve as recharging stations to your spirit.

- Reading God’s Word is paramount.
- Friendship, good company, and camaraderie are central to a happy life.
- Nature is a magnificent source of inspiration.
- Seek out good news to lift your spirit.
- Appreciate the arts through such things as music, painting, sculpture, literature, dance, photography
- Enjoy life’s simple gifts. There are countless small blessings that we receive daily from God and others that can bring us a lot of joy.
- Exercise is good for both your body and your emotional and mental health.
- Try something new! Break out of your routines.
- Make time for silence. God made us to need quiet. [1]

Hold your eyes on God and leave the doing to Him. That is all the doing you have to worry about.”  - St. Jane Frances de Chantal
