When Did You Last Pause? (Nature Can Heal Your Soul) | Psalm 19 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | Wednesday 22 July 2026

When did you last stop - truly stop - and notice the world around you? If you're finding it hard to remember, there's a name for what you're experiencing. And the Bible has something important to say about it.

In this 5-minute devotional, Rob explores the idea of Nature Deficit Disorder and why spending time in God's creation isn't a luxury - it's a spiritual necessity.

In this video you'll discover:

- Why science is finally catching up with what Scripture said thousands of years ago
- How creation was designed by God to be a place of healing and encounter
- Why Jesus regularly withdrew to natural spaces - and what that means for us
- A simple, practical step you can take this week to restore your soul

You don't need an expensive retreat. A park bench, a garden corner, or even a window can become sacred space - when you bring an expectant heart.
