- Disconnection – A time comes each day when we need to disconnect from the computer, the telephone, cell phones, pagers, VCRs, DVDs, TVs, and radios. In other words, disengaging from anything that beeps, blows, goes off, rings, honks, or says, ‘You’ve got mail.’ In sports it would be called a time-out.
- “Meditation – Biblical meditation involves emptying the mind and filling it with God’s Word. It is tuning out the world and tuning into a specific Scripture or attribute of God. Choose to block out everything else for a specific period of time. Focus upon Jesus and the words of the Bible. ‘This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success’ – Joshua 1:8.
- Concentration – We need times of being still and simply listening to God. Too often we are moving targets, moving too quickly to hear what God has to say to us. Concentration is a way to practice silence before God. We deliberately think about God.”[1]
