Get the app40 Days to Awaken Your Sober MindSample
Alcohol might make you feel more relaxed or social for a moment, but over time, it can create distance between you and the people you love most. Emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, it dulls what matters. Our presence and practicing the presence of others is best exchanged through wholeness rather than fragments. When we alter our minds, it takes part of us away. It can even cover over or mask your pure uniqueness…I call it your “ness”.
The clarity that comes with sober-minded living brings a gift you can’t fake: presence. Real presence leads to real connection.
2 Timothy reminds us that we’ve been given a sound mind and not a fearful, reactive one. A sound and sober mind allows us to discern through the Holy Spirit which relationships are from Him and what input is truly beneficial. John 15 tells us that when we stay close to Jesus, the true Vine, we flourish. We bear fruit. We can live authentic and connected lives.
Today, resist the pull to disconnect. Lean in. Be available. Be present.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the gift of a sober mind. Teach me what it means to be fully present with the people I love today, and help me stay rooted in You.
Journal Prompt:
Think of a recent moment of true connection. What made it meaningful? How might being alcohol-free deepen that experience next time?
