REST/HOLY SPIRIT: Meditation * Prayer * Withdrawal * Retreat: Our culturally perverse notion that “doing, doing, doing” is the correct use of time and that “doing nothing” is a complete waste of time, has indeed made us a sick society. Your over-whelming desire to back off from this whirlwind of activity and take a break, even throw in the towel altogether, isn’t crazy or unrealistic. It’s a direct summons from the Holy Spirit to withdraw your attentions from the outer world and reconnect with your soul. Your life is not to be frittered away in meaningless and unexamined activity. You came with a purpose and specific intentions that are being neglected. They’re now knocking at the door of your attention, reminding you that you have commitments to keep. If you don’t heed this call and begin to self-examine, you may even enter a dark night of the soul, a time where nothing feel meaningful.
Listen to the Holy Spirit and open your heart to its direction. Take lots of time to be alone and get in touch with your soul. Write in a journal, seek counseling and pray. Allow yourself to be in direct contact with the guiding wisdom of the Holy Spirit on a daily basis. Withdrawing from the world, whether through contemplation, meditation or even a sabbatical, is the most powerful way to use your time right now. The Holy Spirit is guiding you in your quiet moments. Its message: “Make time for yourself.”
