Dashboards of the Soul:

Today Rob talks about dashboards of the soul. I found this to be a very helpful section of the book. I know that one of my dashboard lights is anxiety. When that light is flashing I know it is time to take a moment to connect with God and discuss what is going on.

Questions:

1. List out what the indicator lights are on the dashboard of your soul.

2. What insight do these indicator lights give you into yourself?

Prayer:

Lord, we long for you to speak to us. Help us to quiet ourselves before you. Help us to be ready to receive your message. Give us the patience to wait upon you without agenda. To wait knowing that just sitting here with you is enough.

Exercise:

Find a quiet spot where you can relax. Spend a few minutes emptying your mind and taking your focus off yourself and placing it on God. Then when you are ready to listen, simply ask, “Lord, in what ways am I not living in the river?”
