Embracing Needs

As we continue in the season of Lent, Liz Schepel invites us to explore and embrace our needs that we sometimes push aside [Psalm 63].

 

Reflection

• What emotion has been dominant in your life?  What personal need might be at the root of those feelings?
• What do you tend to put ahead of your own needs?
• In what ways can we respond empathetically to our own needs this week?

Resources

• Song: After the Storm (Mumford & Sons)
• MWG: Discussion Guide 

Spiritual Practice

• Feelings and Needs.  Find ways to slow down and discern your dominant feelings and name the need.  See if you can find different ways to meet that need.
• Safe love.  What does safe love feel like for you?  What is it inviting you to receive? What do you need to receive?
