This is not a typical prescription. There is no pharmacy, no waiting room, no insurance required. This is God’s prescription for a soul that has been running on empty for too long — for anyone who has been pushing through exhaustion, guilt, and the weight of doing too much. The cost has already been covered. All you have to do is take it.
Boundaries with people who drain you — start immediately
Prescription:
- 8 hours of sleep without guilt — taken nightly
- Time alone — daily, as needed
- Boundaries with people who drain you — start immediately
- Permission to say no — refill as often as required
- Worship music — for moments of overwhelm
- Time in nature — twice a week minimum
- Conversations with me — multiple times daily
- Forgiveness for yourself — taken liberally
- Joy — wherever you can find it
- Rest – without earning it first
Side effects may include: Increased peace. Deeper trust. Surprising joy. Clarity about what matters. Letting go of what doesn’t. Healing in places you forgot were hurting.
Refills: Unlimited.
Cost: Already paid.
