38 | Rooted Moment - When Rest Becomes Prayer: A November Garden Devotional on Psalm 119 and Psalm 65
In this Rooted Moment, Sanda slows us down for a simple yet sacred truth: rest itself can become prayer.
Drawing from Psalm 65:9–11 and Psalm 119:169–170, she invites you to see your quiet garden—and your quiet soul—as places where the Gardener is still at work. Beneath South Texas soil, peas climb, collards stretch, onions strengthen, and God listens to every unspoken cry of the heart.
Through three gentle movements—Soften the Furrows, Feed the Roots, and Lift the Leaves—you’ll learn how rest, prayer, and growth intertwine as Advent approaches.
This short devotional companion to Episode 37 (The November Garden Examen) will help you breathe, listen, and let the soil of your spirit stay soft before the coming Light.
🌸 Key Takeaways & Highlights
Psalm 65 reminds us: God still waters and blesses even resting soil.
Psalm 119 shows us: prayer is often a cry for understanding, not perfection.
How “holy hush” and gentle work coexist in the late-fall garden.
Three Rooted Movements:
1️⃣ Soften the Furrows – let prayer loosen hard ground.
2️⃣ Feed the Roots – nourish hidden strength with Scripture.
3️⃣ Lift the Leaves – turn toward Light and promise.
Practical garden + soul practices you can try this week.
🌿 Rooted Challenge
1️⃣ Read Psalm 119:169–170 each morning or night.
2️⃣ Spend 10 quiet minutes outdoors—listen, don’t plan.
3️⃣ Journal two lines: “Lord, this is my cry…” and “This is Your promise.”
🌟 Invitation to Advent in the Garden
Advent is almost here — and so is our 25-day journey of hope, peace, joy, and love.
🌿 Join Sanda for daily videos, reflections, and simple garden practices that will help you root deeply in God’s presence this season.

✨ Key Quote for Show Notes
“Rest isn’t silence; it’s conversation—the soil breathing prayers you can’t yet put into words.”
