Jesus is trustworthy to lead you through the valley into a place of joy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You Need A Steadiness Just For You. <\/strong>Everyone needs to feel grounded and stable. Sandhya shared this phrase: \u201csettled bodies, settle bodies.\u201d That is a good reminder to prioritize being settled yourself, as you strive to care for others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There is No Right Way to Breathe. <\/strong>As you create your own breath prayers or use the ones that Sandhya offered, don\u2019t worry about getting it right. In the same way that a parent delights as their child stumbles through their first words, God delights when we focus our attention on Him and isn\u2019t so concerned with how it sounds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources to Help:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thriftbooks.com\/w\/a-rhythm-of-prayer-a-collection-of-meditations-for-renewal_sarah-bessey\/26114762\/item\/43706053\/?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=pmax_new_books&amp;utm_adgroup=&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwyY6pBhA9EiwAMzmfwSzWo4dIAeCpIh-sYt6QMCIgJJx5AmDaQxW_Yh2EvYsDhT9SJ5vsOhoCAOMQAvD_BwE#idiq=43706053&amp;edition=28783747\">A Rhythm of Prayer: A Collection of Meditations for Renewal <\/a>edited by Sarah Bessey<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cole Arthur Riley is the author of the book<a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/p\/books\/this-here-flesh-spirituality-liberation-and-the-stories-that-make-us-cole-arthur-riley\/17122524?ean=9780593239797&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwyY6pBhA9EiwAMzmfwYby0vI2xMZLrUN4VqylhQ1n7VZ_PbV6ovdLZ2KprGrBMbJHGT9OdRoCm1QQAvD_BwE\"> This Here Flesh.<\/a> On her instagram, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/blackliturgies\/\">Black Liturgies <\/a>she regularly shares breath prayers and has a new book,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/721989\/black-liturgies-by-cole-arthur-riley\/\"> Black Liturgies: Prayers, Poems and Meditations For Staying Human,<\/a> coming out in Jan. of 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theallendercenter.org\/\">The Allender Center.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandhyaoaks.com\/\">Sandhya Oak\u2019s website.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Episode Reflection An Invitation to Explore:&nbsp; \u201cThere&#8217;s always a deeper story and there&#8217;s always a more truer story, and when we can disrupt the shame with a sense of kindness and curiosity and a sense of presence and with-ness, that is when we get to come home back to ourselves, back to the Lord, and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24109,"featured_media":3806,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2007,2279],"tags":[2259,2285,2286,2284],"class_list":["post-3794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcast","category-season-5","tag-flourishing","tag-grief","tag-joy","tag-story"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
