Restore my soul

"Allowing service for Christ to steal our devotion to him is a radical failure in personal soul care. But it is one from which the practice of communing with Christ in times of solitude and silence can deliver us."(Willard, The Great Omission, 130)

How many times have we gotten to the place where we are absolutely empty, poured out, exhausted...and how many times have we found that the rest and refreshment of taking a nap, walking in a natural setting, reading our Bibles, and simply being silent and alone with the Lord has completely restored us? Every single time.

Silence, Solitude, and Time are our best friends...they are essential to our soul care.

“The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me besides still waters. He restores my soul.” Psalm 23

Join Us!

We are looking forward to our retreat at the end of April!

The focus of our time will be on reconnecting with the Lord (as always) with a specific emphasis on prayer. We will use the Lord's Prayer as a focus of our chapel times, we'll reflect on our earliest memories of praying and think about what we've learned about prayer over the years. We'll even talk about how to use a journal as a glue to hold our prayer life together.
We hope you'll join us. Go to the NEWIM website to register.
