Your phone is very useful, but it also wants nothing more than to steal from you: your time, money, and priorities. Silence and solitude are essential spaces where God can reach us - we MUST take time away from screens. Taking control over your relationship with your phone isn’t just good for your focus—it’s an act of spiritual resistance.
Try setting some sacred boundaries. If you know you’re prone to linger on specific apps, consider putting apps limits on them (found in your settings). Begin and end your day without your phone. Create “phone-free” spaces for prayer, Scripture, or just breathing deeply. Notice what surfaces in the quiet—boredom, restlessness, longing—and bring that honestly before God. This is soul work.
