Faith at Home

What are the pathways that you have created in your life?

What are the pathways that you have created in your brain?

Listening to our lives and to the Divine Family is a practice that we come back to again and again (and again!) In this short Psalm 70, we are encouraged to notice and to step forward into the Divine’s call to us.

What do you hear as you listen deeply?

What is the loving step forward for you today?

Are you finding these contemplative prayer practices helpful to your faith life?

Take a moment to share with a friend and invite them to talk with you about what you are noticing.

In this Listening Practice using the last half of Psalm 69, you might hear the call of the Divine Family to turn to them for encouragement. You might notice that this prayer-poem, written 1000 years before Jesus, reminds you of some of Jesus’ story. Or maybe it reminds you of your own story.

Sometimes the act of complaining, the feeling of heartache, can be a cue that our spiritual lives need some tender, loving care. And right in this moment of need and distress, we are invited to come to the Divine Family for encouragement and a safe place to land.

Take a moment to drop us a quick note to let us know what you are noticing as you listen to Psalm 69:19-36. We’d love to hear from you!

Welcome to Season Three of the Faith at Home Podcast! We sure are glad you’ve joined us today!

Bite-sized practices for our Spiritual Health can help us to have energy and nourishment. They can change our relationships with the Divine, ourselves, our families and the world around us.

This Listening Practice is one of the practices that helps us to “pay attention” both to our way of being in the present moment, but also to the invitation to ask for help or to rest in God’s love and provision.

Are you curious about how you might weave bite-sized faith practices into your everyday experience? Poke around on our website or send us a message today. We’d love to be in touch.

The Psalms are a really practical tool in our prayer toolkit.

They can help us to get to know the Divine in different ways. They can help us to be honest with ourselves about what we are noticing and feeling.

Sometimes when we read the Psalms they have images in them that are uncomfortable!

Today’s listening practice has stark imagery. Beyond and through that imagery, can you hear your inner self in conversation with the Life-Giving Spirit?

In the midst of the uncomfortable, the Divine is present with us. If you aren’t in a space where you are able to feel that today, would you consider a brief conversation of support? We have some openings for complementary Exploration Calls for Online Spiritual Guidance!

As we experience our everyday lives, sometimes we are up and sometimes we are down!

Sometimes we feel anxious and sometimes we feel joyful and sometimes we feel bland.

Naming our feelings or thoughts in a safe conversation with the Divine Family and with another safe person can help us to respond to the invitation of the Divine Family to be at home in their love.

You are loved. You are blessed. You are forgiven.

Have you ever thought about the difference between getting stuck in regret and reflecting on your past with an ear paying attention for where God has been involved?

As we pause to practice listening to the Divine Family, we could get swallowed by regret, or we can acknowledge our honest feelings AND reflect on the ways that the Divine Family have poured out blessings on our lives.
