Finding Work Life BalanceSample

Your Body is a Temple
According to 1 Corinthians, our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Temples are not objects to be worshipped, but they must be kept in good condition so that we can use them for worship. Practically speaking, it is through the vehicle of our bodies that we experience and come to understand God’s love. It is also the instrument we use to serve others. Therefore, to the best of our abilities, we are to take care of and honor our bodies. Getting adequate rest, nutrition and exercise can be forms of worship to God.
Prayer
Jesus, I pray that you would help me honor the life you have given me by honoring the body you have given me, to the best of my ability. Amen.
