Lovely to ‘meet’ you. New sub!
I often have internet fasts which I have found to be very helpful. This lent I felt called to give up all screens. During that time, my prayer life deepened, my imagination and memories and dream life became much more vivid, like it was when I was a child ( before the Internet). I also found my creativity started to flow. I ended up writing a novella and started painting again, something I thought I didn’t have time for!
The phone apps really activate the chemical reward systems in our brains. Jesus can break every chain though and heal every wound.
I came to The Lord 23 years ago. He healed me from addictions and an eating disorder. He heals me still. With Him we can overcome.
Blessings!

Hello. Thank you for watching and subscribing. Your comment has actually just come after a couple of days where I've been considering doing just that. The Internet at least (We don't watch much TV at all and the odd film is part of my husbands down time). I have a video to work on and then I think I'll have a complete break for a week, maybe a little more. But that's certainly something to keep in mind for Lent next year, if I can make sure all essential Internet activity is taken care of. I bet it was lovely. I remember the days before in the Internet. I feel blessed to have those memories actually, you may feel the same. So much has changed and so fast.
