Preparing Room, One Breath at a Time

A soft follow-up to Episode 45: Attentive to His Presence—Preparing Room in a Noisy Season

✨ Episode Summary

In this Rooted Moment, Sanda offers a simple, spacious pause in the middle of a noisy season.

Through Psalm 46:10 and the quiet humility of Luke 2:6–7, she invites you to breathe deeply, loosen your shoulders, and make a little room—just one breath at a time.

This short reflection includes a guided practice called “The One-Minute Room,” helping you re-center and return to God’s presence no matter how full your life feels.

If Episode 45 encouraged you to prepare room, Episode 46 gently helps you hold that sacred space.

📖 Scriptures in This Episode
  • Psalm 46:10 — “Be still, and know that I am God.”

  • Luke 2:6–7 — “…she laid Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.”

    🌱 What You’ll Hear
    • A tender reminder that God meets us in imperfect, unfinished places

    • A slowing, grounding breath practice

    • A simple way to open space for Jesus in the middle of a noisy week

    • A short, peace-giving prayer to settle you back into God’s presence

      🌿 Today’s Practice: “The One-Minute Room”

      Just one minute of stillness.

      One inhale: “Here I am, Lord.”
      One exhale: “Make room in me.”

      This gentle return becomes your personal manger—an open place where Christ is welcome.

      Optional second practice: clear one small thing in your home or garden and whisper,

      “This is room for You, Lord.”

      • Where do you feel crowded or noisy inside right now?

      • What tiny moment of stillness could become your “manger space” today?
