How to Transform Overwhelm into Divine Peace and Grace

An Invitation to Listen & Connect

As you read this two-way prayer, I invite you in. I invite you to pause and listen to the God of your understanding. Write down what you hear, see, feel, or experience. Write what comes. Don’t judge what comes, simply listen to it and be obedient to it. It might not make sense, but trust the God in you. It’ll make sense to you in due time. (Ask me how I know!) Let this moment be an opportunity to connect deeply and personally with God’s presence. Your reflections are sacred—trust what comes.

To put it simply: be quiet and still, and listen to what comes.

My Prayer to God

God, thank You for two way prayer. For prayers bold, deep, heartfelt, and powerful. Thank You for all my gifts! For this weekend’s silent retreat. Silence. Meditation. The heat of the sun. Fresh, crisp fall air. Delicious meals. Rachel [a phenomenal cook]. A new opportunity to show up! Goodness and mercy. Writing. Thank You, God, for writing! For 33 pages in less than two days. For clarity of thought. For willingness and courage to connect with myself, with Mother Nature, with You, with Your other children.

On this beautiful new day, what would You have me do? Help me do the work I’ve been avoiding. Help me clean, organize, hang, assemble, color. Help me write and transcribe. Help me do my taxes. Help me follow up and follow through. Help me create a spending plan and look at previous months’ spending. Help me know it takes less time than I fear and think it will. Help me know every single thing I desire to do is doable with ease, grace, flow, fun, curiosity, gentleness, love, and kindness.

God’s Response to Me

My dear child,

Did you see it? Did you notice and watch as it unfolded? As You unfolded it?

Your lists are long. You thought they’d be short and brief, but you kept going, kept adding, kept piling more on.

Today, get a monthly and daily planner. That is the one divine task for your day, after which all else will FLOW.

FLOW, My child! You oftentimes attempt to go against the current, but I have designed you to flow with it.

Get in the flow. Return to your holy, divine flow!

You don’t need to return to school to prioritize Your life and live in flow. You simply need to return to ME! You thought it was school, but it was Me at the center.

Come to Me each day, each hour, each BREATH. Remember to call on Me when You breathe, as I’ve made it so You call on Me when You breathe. Keep going, My sweet child, until You have normal breath in Your body and return to Me.
