Praying Pause- The light shines in the darkness

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.—John 1:5

~Taking a deep and comfortable breath, sink into the moment… you are alive… now… no matter how you feel, accept it and breathe into it…

~Surrender to your breath and your life situation… this is not your life, it’s only a situation in your life… situations come and go… challenges come and go… you are held by God’s breath within you…

~Continuing to breathe gently, visualize a light in your life… what is the light right now… ?

~See and feel this light becoming brighter and brighter… knowing that the darkness will not overcome God’s light within you…

~ Breathing lightly sit with your challenge and invite God into it more deeply…

Darkness deserves gratitude. It is the alleluia point at which we learn to understand that all growth does not take place in the sunlight.—Joan Chittister
