SPENDING YOUR DAYS WITH JESUS
What could be better in life than spending your days with Jesus?
This section is intended to be a companion planning and prayer process to accompany the final chapter, "All the Days of My Life," of Dallas Willard’s book, Life Without Lack. Have a copy of Life Without Lack ready as you pray and prepare to spend your days with Jesus. The first seven chapters of this book are recommended reading as prep-work to this planning.
​
Like any worthwhile effort in life, spending your days with Jesus takes forethought. Read more about creating your plan to spend a day (and hopefully all your days) with Jesus on pages 197-198 in Life Without Lack (Section 3: The Plan).
