Pause: Breathe in and breathe out, notice your breath as you inhale and exhale.
Ponder: Grief never really ends. But it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love.
Pray: Ask God to comfort someone who is mourning.
Pause, Ponder and Pray #2
Thank you for checking back for week 2 of our Pause, Ponder and Pray series by Spero Spiritual Life Coordinator, Rev. Deborah Pollex.
Pause: Breathe in while silently saying the word, “Peace.” Breathe out while silently saying the words, “Be still.” Repeat.
Ponder: We all have stuff and situations in life that panic us. Fear saps our energy and leaves us feeling depleted and hopeless. What are your fears today? Be honest. Read the scripture in the image. When we listen to God’s words of peace and believe them, we allow them to hughesairco.com work their way into our innermost beings and settle the fear and chaos within.

Pause, Ponder and Pray
Pause: Breathe in, slowly and deeply. Breathe out, slowly and deeply. Repeat.
Ponder: Some days are great. Things go as planned and you bounce from meetings to tasks to your private life and feel wonderful. Then there are other days. When something important unexpectedly goes wrong. Or when you feel sorry for yourself and just want to go back to bed. Days when you don’t feel motivated at all. The simplest way to turn a day, week or month into something more positive is to turn our focus to gratitude. We can always find something to feel grateful for in our life.
Pray: Thank God for this month…no matter what happen.
