A Collective Practice: A Thread That Weaves Us Together
On Wednesday at sunrise, wherever you are, step outside.
Feel the air on your skin. Let your feet meet the earth.
Notice the weight of yourself standing here.
Whisper:
"This ground is holy, even in the wilderness."
Then, ask yourself:
🔹 Where am I tempted to believe I walk alone?
🔹 What if presence is here, even in silence?
Know that others are doing the same.
A shared breath. A shared moment.
A quiet tether in the vastness of this season.
Wednesday: The Slow Work of Trust
Daily Reflection – The Space Between Questions and Answers
Trust is not built in certainty. It is built in waiting. In the spaces where the next step is unclear, where the outcome is hidden, where faith is formed not in what is seen, but in what is unseen.
The wilderness is where trust is carved into us—not as a demand, but as an invitation. It does not ask us to control, to predict, to strategize our way forward. It asks us to be still in the in-between, to let the unknown stretch us rather than undo us.
Where in your life is trust being formed slowly?
What happens when you let the waiting be a space of formation rather than frustration?
Sacred Invitation – The Unfinished Prayer
Not all prayers have an ending. Some linger, unanswered. Some stretch across years. Some feel like silence. And yet, prayer is not about the result. It is about presence—about returning, about making space for the ache, about trusting that even the prayers left open are still held.
Today, let yourself pray an unfinished prayer. Not one tied up neatly, but one that holds the ache of longing and waiting. Resist the urge to resolve it. Simply let it be.
Whisper:
“Even here, I will trust.”
A Somatic Practice – Holding the Unseen
Cup your hands together, as if holding something you cannot yet see.
Let this be your trust—imperfect, unfinished, growing.
With each breath, feel the weight of what is unknown. Notice any resistance in your body, the instinct to grasp for certainty, to close the gap. Instead of forcing resolution, let yourself hold what is unfolding.
Inhale: “I do not need to see.”
Exhale: “To trust that You are here.”
Closing Reflection – Becoming Steady
Trust is not a quick decision. It is the slow work of being formed over time. It is built in the silence, in the stretching, in the spaces where clarity has not yet come.
What if this waiting is not empty? What if it is forming something deeper within you—something that will last beyond the wilderness?
Let the wilderness shape you.
Not with easy answers, but with a steadiness that cannot be shaken.
