A New Day for Mindful Moments with God

latte art

Enjoy the fresh start of a new day! Be thankful and choose to fill this day with hope and joy.

God loves you and has a wonderful plan for you. His plan will prevail even through the darkest times and through the darkest emotions. Use this new day to release the old and take hold of the new things God has in store for you. Slow down and be present as you pray, read Scriptures, and spend time with God.

Breathe in deeply and breathe out slowly. Ask God to fill you with peace as you think about things you have to be grateful for. If you’re going through challenges or emotional turmoil, getting present and paying attention to something good—no matter how small can help.

Live in the Present Moment

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24 ESV

Live in the present moment and be open to the Holy Spirit’s presence. Deepen your connection with God as you not only pray, but also listen. Focus on these mindful moments and pay attention to the calming flow of your breath going in and out. Receive God’s guidance, peace, and abundant blessings. This new day is an opportunity to receive a fresh start. Don’t let yesterday’s troubles or fears stop you from experiencing life fully today.

At the end of any difficult day, choose to rest. Check out Mindful Moments with God: A Prayer for Restful Sleep for a bedtime prayer. Believe in God’s good plan for you and don’t give up.

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow.” ― Mary Anne Radmacher

As you commune with God in quiet reverence, remember that within you resides the power to manifest the dreams that God has planted in your heart. Savour the divine wisdom found within the pages of the Bible, allowing its timeless teachings to bring you guidance, peace, and comfort. God’s plan for your life is good; listen closely and trust in it. Feel the goodness that surrounds you, enjoy everyday blessings and extract joy from each moment.

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11 NLT

Mindful Moments with God

latte art

Mindfulness means being present and paying attention to life as you live it. Master your attitude, count your blessings, and revel in the beauty of each passing moment. Incorporate mindfulness into your daily routine, and watch as it transforms you into a calmer, happier, and healthier person.

Live in the present moment with open arms and embark on a transformative journey toward deeper well-being, inner peace, and spiritual fulfillment. Being mindful will strengthen your prayer life and deepen your connection with God.

As you commune with God in quiet reverence, remember that within you resides the power to manifest the dreams that God has planted in your heart. Savour the divine wisdom found within the pages of the Bible, allowing its timeless teachings to bring you guidance, peace, and comfort. God’s plan for your life is good; listen closely and trust in it. Feel the goodness that surrounds you, enjoy everyday blessings, and extract joy from each moment.

Your breath—the very essence of life—holds immense power. Breathe in deeply, exhale slowly, and quiet the mental noise. With each mindful breath, relax your body, release stress and anxiety, and feel yourself becoming calmer and more attentive.

Take a moment to slow down and be present as you pray, read Scriptures, and spend time with God. Breathe in deeply and breathe out slowly. Focus on these mindful moments and allow God to bless you and give you peace.

‘May the Lord bless you and protect you.
May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.’
Numbers 6:24-26 NLT

A Dose of Calm – Let’s Pray 🙏

A Prayer for Restful Sleep

Dear God, as we lay down to sleep, please quiet our worries and calm our restless minds. Comfort us with Your loving presence and keep us safe. Wrap Your healing arms around us and take away any pain and discomfort. Grant us the serenity to rest deeply, waking in the morning feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. We pray this in the loving name of Jesus. Amen.

In peace I will lie down and sleep,

When God is Silent

Posted on by by Posted in Blog, Mindfulness, Prayer, Spiritual No Comments ↓

When God is silent, be still and listen.

when God is silent - blue rose

When God is Silent


When God is silent;
When doubt creeps in;
When prayers go unanswered;
Are You there God?
Are You real God?

Doubting, Alone, and Troubled

The irony is—when doubt says does God even exist? Is God real? The one doubt seeks answers from IS God. The one doubt seeks comfort from IS God.

God always comforts
God always helps
God always loves

  • through the silence
  • through the pain
  • through the loneliness
  • through the trouble

God IS there.

Mindfulness: How to Hear from God

When God is silent, it’s an invitation to seek Him more and to be mindfully aware. Quietly seek God and pay attention. Be present so you don’t overlook what God may be telling you. Even when it doesn’t feel like it, God is there, loving you, watching over you, and implementing the good plans He has for your life.

Reflect on these scriptures:

  • For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13 NIV
  • Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7 NLT
  • “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8 NLT
  • For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
  • Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:31-32 NLT
  • “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.” Psalm 46:10 NLT
  • ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’ Jeremiah 33:3 NIV

Focus on God’s word and let the scriptures speak to your heart.

Let Go and Relax

when God is silent - small blue rose

When you seek God, seek with love in your heart. Release any anger, hatred, and resentment. Let go of judgment and forgive. Freedom from these things allows you to focus on the present moment with a clear mind. Practise mindfulness to release anxiety and be calm. Quiet your mind so you are open to receive messages from God.

Imagine how peaceful your life would be if you chose to enjoy each moment without anger, bitterness, fear or judgment. When you pray, open your mind and your heart as you observe any thoughts, ideas, or messages you receive.

A Mindful Exercise to Quiet Your Mind

Take a few deep relaxing breaths and deepen your breathing. Release any tension and allow yourself to relax. Feel your abdomen expand fully with the in breath and relax with the out breath. Bring your attention to this breathing experience as you continue to breathe slowly and deeply. Take a moment to pray now and seek God in this calm moment.

Imagine having the opportunity to go for a walk with Jesus. You meet at the beach and have time alone to talk. You immediately start talking about your troubles and your worries, but Jesus is very calm and in no hurry. He says, ‘Come my child, rest. Walk with me, relax and enjoy this moment.’ Then Jesus holds your hand and there is only peace. Your body relaxes, your breathing slows down, and your mind is calm. You enjoy the feel of the sand under your feet and the presence of Jesus beside you as you walk along the beach. The sweet smell of lilac accompanies the caress of a soft breeze, and you feel blissful. After you walk in silence for a little while, you see what it feels like to be completely present and ready to listen.

When you pray, pay attention and be present to receive God’s guidance.

Learn how to let go of stress and relax, so you can be calmer, happier, and healthier. Check out Mindfulness: From Chaos to Calm, and feel good now, as you have fun doing the mindfulness exercises at the end of each chapter. Discover simple steps to reduce anxiety, increase feelings of peace, and be fully present. Get your copy today and learn how to live a simpler, more joyful life now.

Discover Your Inner Power

I’m so excited to share that I had the privilege of being a guest on the Strong, Single and Human podcast. I had such a fun time recording this interview with Claire Martin about loving yourself, being mindful, and discovering your inner power.

Here’s a few highlights from our conversation:

  • The importance of loving yourself and how it can help your children.
  • How to ask questions that empower you and make you feel good about yourself and your life.
  • Be the best parent you can be by forgiving and set yourself free.
  • What mindfulness is and how to be mindful.
  • Calm your worries and fears. Be calm and think clearly.

Listen to our conversation here:

Press the pink circle with the white triangle to listen without leaving this page.

Take a Mini Break

Worries are the thoughts that tell us we might not be okay or we won’t be safe or something will happen that we can’t handle. You are good enough just as you are. You are strong and capable. Stop believing the lies that say you’re not.

Bring your attention to the present moment. Take a deep calming breath and let your body relax. Allow yourself to take things one step at a time. Be present without the weight of your entire future on your shoulders.

Now, use this simple technique Claire shared in our talk: put your hand on your heart and say, I’m safe and I’m loved now.

Take a few more deep calming breaths, feeling safe and loved.

What is the Strong Single and Human Podcast?

Strong, Single and Human is a uniquely real podcast dedicated to all the single parents navigating through the challenges of raising children alone. We look at how to navigate the ups and downs of life with kids on your own while keeping sane. We talk about the real side of single parenting with all its impacts, worries and issues.
