Scripture Inspiration
"Be still, and know that I am God." – Psalm 46:10 (NIV)
This verse reminds us of the importance of stillness in our busy lives. In this moment, let us open our hearts to the divine presence that surrounds us.
Reflection
In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to become distracted, caught up in the worries of yesterday or the uncertainties of tomorrow. However, the present moment is a gift—a sanctuary where we can experience peace, joy, and connection to the divine. When we pause to breathe and reflect, we open ourselves to the beauty of now.
As you settle into this space, consider what it means to embrace the present. What blessings do you have right now? What feelings are surfacing? Allow yourself to feel them without judgment. Each moment holds the potential for transformation; let us explore that together.

Affirmation

Repeat silently or aloud: “I am here, I am safe, I am loved.” Allow these words to resonate within you. Picture the divine presence as an anchor, grounding you in the moment.

Now, consider one thing you’re grateful for today. It could be something small, like the warmth of the sun or a smile from a loved one, or something monumental, like love or health. Hold that feeling of gratitude in your heart and let it expand, filling your entire being.
