Start the day in relaxed dependence. This is merely a new description for “quiet time” or “personal devotions.” This description focuses on the state of being (relaxed dependence) rather than the activity (reading, praying, or journaling). Both the state of being and activity are essential. For those struggling with burnout the temptation can be to make your time with God one more self-improvement activity, rather than a place of refuge and time of rest.
