In this brief devotional, speaker Jeremiah Tipton urges listeners to develop sensitivity to the Holy Spirit by intentionally slowing the pace of their lives. He emphasizes pausing to reflect on Scripture and prayer rather than immediately reaching for phones or social media. By putting the phone down, thinking deeply about the Word, and praying for the Lord to speak, believers can calm anxious thoughts and open their hearts to the Holy Spirit’s guidance. The core message is that spiritual attentiveness is cultivated through deliberate, slower thinking and reduced digital distraction.

Chapters

Practice sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. By that I mean slow the pace of your life. Pause to ponder. Stop. Don't rush through everything. Stop moving through life so quickly. And on that note, when you read the Word and you pray, instead of just reading the Word, praying, and then picking up your phone and scrolling through TikTok or Instagram or wherever you watch your reels these days, pause. Put the phone down. Think about what you read. Pray about what you read. Ask the Lord to speak to you. That sensitivity to the Holy Spirit comes when you just slow down, not necessarily in your schedule or the pacing of your day, but in the speed of thought, in the anxiousness of the heart. You calm yourself.
