Questions for Reflection

(First Monday of Advent)

On a typical day, how much time would you say you spend on doing household tasks (or other kinds of work)?  How much time would you say you spend praying or reading a devotion or meditating on Scripture?  What does this suggest about your focus?  (Think about the scripture reading and devo from yesterday.)

How can taking the time to pray, read a devotion or meditate on Scripture help to reduce your stress level?

Action Idea

Make it a practice to say a prayer before, after, and even during a difficult task.
