How to Practice Summer Soul Care

Are we practicing soul care?

Because it seems as though many of us are intentional to care for our body—our overall health and physical wellness.

But sometimes caring for our soul falls off the radar.

As mentioned in 10 of My Favorite Things About Summer, one of my favorite things about summer is the slower pace.

For most of us summer brings a more leisure and unhurried rhythm of life. Kids are out of school. We plan time off work to travel and go on vacation.

And we often gather with friends and family fostering intentional connection and recreation. 

But in this slower pace and rhythm, the Lord also desires to teach us how to care for our soul. So here are some ideas for S-U-M-M-E-R soul care.

S – Satisfy our soul with what only God provides.

“For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.” (Psalm 107:9, ESV)

“For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.” (Jeremiah 31:25, ESV)

Like we long to vacation at the beach, hope to relax at a tropical resort, or desire to fill our summer with joyful activities, our soul longs for good things as well. The Lord wants us to slow down long enough to spend time in His presence. And ask God to satisfy, fill, and replenish our soul with His goodness.
