DEAR GOD, I NEED A TIME OUT!

The month of February was rushed, full of unexpected surprises (the kind nobody wants) and very long days. Saturday was to be a “catch up day” but like the rest of the month there weren’t nearly enough hours in the day to accomplish what I needed to. Although Sundays are usually my Sacred Day, the past several had been so crammed full there wasn’t much time to even eat or breathe. Yet I knew this Sunday had to be different.

I woke up with the realization that my body, mind and spirit were done rushing – no matter what other commitments I had. No matter how long my to-do list was. No matter what!

I also knew left to my own vices, this Sunday, although well-intended to be a Sacred Day, would end up like all the others in the past month… crammed full of stuff to get done and no down time to connect with God. What’s a gal to do?

Pray, of course!

So I did. It wasn’t a fancy prayer or even a religious prayer. In fact, it was a pretty informal prayer…

God, I need a time out! I’m spent. I need some quality time together. I know you’re with me ALL the time, but I miss slowing down enough to really FEEL you. I need your help today. I need down time, connecting time. I need to feel you and my angels all around me. I need to stop feeling rushed and to experience the day with Grace and ease. I know this is possible and I thank you for making it so. It is done, it is done, it is done!

Turns out my informal prayer was also an effective prayer.

As soon as I said it, a warm, tingling, feeling of peace and comfort washed over me. The anxious energy I’d been feeling the past several weeks dissipated. The tension in my body released and I knew I was in for a beautiful, relaxing, day.

I felt like I was being given a celestial hug -- and it felt wonderful.

I basked in the sunshine streaming through my window. I gave thanks for all the wonderful blessings in my life. And I allowed myself to just sit and be. Then I got started on the rest of my day, which really did flow with Grace and ease.

Sometimes we must simply stop and ask for what we need…Especially when what we really need is to connect with our Higher Power.

Thanks, G!
