God breathes. Have you ever noticed that light at the beginning of the day kinda creeps in? It’s not like turning on a light switch in a dark room. It is like nature’s call to ease into the day. Hmm, my alarm clock didn’t get that memo. I feel as though my daily prayer and meditation dates with God provide a relaxing entrance into the day. It doesn’t mean I don’t wake up sometimes with a head full of worries or a strong sense of what needs to be done that day. Somehow by pausing before jumping all in, I allow the most important element of connection with my heart and my Creator ease into the driver seat of my life. Before I started my days with my dates I entered my day much like someone who is blinded by a light that switched on in a dark room. I would literally stumble out of bed and bump into stuff. I didn’t even get a chance for my eyes to adjust let alone the eyes of my heart. I knew enough in automatic pilot of what needed to get done first and except for the time of deep depression and the roughest spots of my addiction, I was able to accomplish those things. The reality was that my heart was still in the dark and I was carrying the load of the world on my shoulders with no sense of what it was all for. I can’t think of a less relaxing way to start the day, can you? I am grateful God never gave up on me or my heart even when I had given up on me. And much like the entrance of light, God found a relaxing way to let me know when I was ready to listen.
Be Of Relaxation!
on October 21, 2016My prayer for us is the courage to look at where we are tensing through our lives and ask God how we might be able to incorporate a relaxing way of being from our heart today.
If God saw fit to begin the day with a relaxing extension of light over the sky, how might you be willing to invite a little relaxation into the beginning of your day today? Share in the comments.
