Dear Saints,
Sacred Rhythms
What are Sacred Rhythms? The daily routines we commit to and engage in become a sort of rhythm for living. We all have them, even if it is to avoid doing the same thing we’ve done before whenever possible. As you begin to notice the rhythms of your life, especially if your life involves a new grade at school, a new position or job, a new family member, or even the loss of one, remember to ask yourself and your loved ones… “Where is God in all of this? Do these rhythms bring me joy?” Keeping regular practices of prayer, holy listening, lament, and celebrations centered in the call to “… seek justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God” (Micah 6:8) sharpens your daily lens, allowing holy clarity for each day, each breath, each new rhythm you integrate into your lives! When a rhythm is difficult, which they often are, hold fast to the simplicity of knowing that God is with you, always, in the good, the bad, and the busy. Take a little time to integrate rhythms of peace and abiding, centering on your breath, a sacred word, perhaps a favorite scripture verse, making space for God as our Maestro, supporting our daily rhythms with love, peace, and comfort.
