Decluttering Spiritually

 

Just as decluttering our physical environment can lift heaviness off our minds and be healing, decluttering our spiritual life is healing as well. Spiritual clutter is anything that comes between you and your relationship with Jesus.

Your mind can be cluttered excessive social media, news, Netflix, or screen time, and unrepented sin. Being too busy to take time with God can lead us to miss out on what He has planned for us.

2 Bible Verses To Help Us Declutter Spiritually

James 5:16 ESV says, “ Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so you may be healed.

Psalm 32: 1,2 NLT states “Oh what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven , whose sin is out of sight! Yes what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!

Consistent Repentance and Prayer

When we confess our sins to God, He gives us a clean slate and it removes any barriers between Him and us. It is best to come to God on a regular basis, asking forgiveness of our sins as soon as we recognize we have sinned. We also need to go to others we have wronged to ask forgiveness before letting this “unhealthy clutter” build up in our spiritual lives and prevent peace.
