The G.R.I.T. Practice is what you need when you face the hard that won’t take a beat. Use the following prompts as guide for a heart + soul + mind + body reset.

<aside>

G - Grace

Allow God's grace to wash over the limits of your humanity, acknowledging the hard instead of just "pressing through" it.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV

R - Recognize

Recognize the signs and symptoms that your body is revealing about how you feel, noticing the heaviness, tension, anxiety, worry, and weariness, and ask God to reveal what is happening in your heart and thoughts.

Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Psalm 193:23

I - Intuition

Instead of ignoring your gut, take note of what your heart, soul, mind, and body need in this moment, releasing expectations and making necessary adjustments.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26 NIV

T - Truth

Remember ****that you are not alone. ****God is with you, even in the hard, and you can lean into Him as He holds you up. And you can also lean on others, too. It is not weak to ask for help and seek out emotional support.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 NIV
