Brushstrokes for Her Soul

In the whirlwind of this Christmas season, take a moment to breathe and notice the gentle miracles surrounding you. Feel the whispers of God's love, much like beautifully wrapped gifts glistening under the tree. This time of year invites us to renew our hope and find joy in the wonder of it all.

While the gifts, the festive meals, and the perfect outfits can bring delight, they are not the essence of Christmas. The true treasures lie in the warmth of giving, the laughter shared with family and friends, and the kindness shown to those in need. These are the priceless gifts of this season.

Let's embrace a Christmas experience that enriches and brings joy to those God guides us to "see." Be open to seeing the little miracles that God brings your way. Expect to see them, and you will!

May you find peace and contentment in the Father's presence throughout this Christmas season. I pray you experience love, joy, peace, and above all, hope—a hope that fills your heart with wonder and anticipation.

Happy Christmas!

Breath Prayer

Breath Prayers are a way to cultivate stillness and focus on God, allowing us to experience deep calm through intentional breathing. By repeating a short phrase during breath prayers, we meditate on God’s truth and strengthen our relationship with Him.

Take a moment to sit in stillness and acknowledge God’s presence. Take a few slow, deep breaths, inhaling through your nose, and then exhaling fully.

Psalm 13:5-6 (Message) I’ve thrown myself headlong into Your arms- I’m celebrating Your rescue. I’m singing at the top of my lungs, I’m so full of answered prayer.

(Inhale) I am wrapped in Your arms.

(Exhale) You rescued me.

(Inhale) I’m singing songs to You.

(Exhale) So grateful for answering my prayers.

(Inhale) I am wrapped in Your arms.

(Exhale) You rescued me.

(Inhale) I’m singing songs to You.

(Exhale) So grateful for answering my prayers.

Finish with a moment of stillness.

A Note from Victoria

Dear Beloved Sisters,

Wherever you find heart this holiday season, may you pause long enough to discover the “Oasis” within your soul, and receive the nourishment of comfort and joy.

Love,

Vicki

A Note from Anoushka

Dear Beautiful Friends,

I am praying these scripture verses for your Christmas holiday and New Year. From Luke 1:37, dear ones, not one promise from God is empty of power, for nothing is impossible with God! And in Luke 2:14, glory to God in the highest realms of heaven! For there is peace and a good hope given to each one of you.

Love you dearly,

Anoushka

Five Minute Meditation

Solitude

Find a comfortable position. Relax your eyes. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly as you observe one minute of stillness.

Lectio Scripture

But you have not believed My message, which will come true at the right time. Because you have not believed, you will be unable to speak; you will remain silent until the day My promise to you comes true. Luke 1:20 (GNT)

Poetica Divina

Have you felt the Christmas glow?

As the world transforms in Love's warm flow?

With shepherds watching and wise men bright,

A star ignites the sacred night.

In tender hush, the Savior's near,

Bringing hope and casting fear.

Beneath the tree, gifts abound,

Yet the greatest treasure is Love profound.

As children gaze with awe and wonder

We gather close, no heart asunder.

In songs of praise that lift us high,

Joy fills the air up to the sky.

So in this season, may your heart be still,

Embrace the peace, know His will.

In every moment, both hush and cheer,

Find the warmth of Jesus here.

Meditation

A sacred hush. A moment of divine transition, when our entire world shifts. This is the birth of Jesus—an appointed time. What about you, dear friend? Has a moment of holy hush come upon you as you wait for His promises to be fulfilled in your life? God is never truly silent in our waiting; often, it is within His hush that we hear His voice the most clearly.

The Posture of Prayer

Dear Father, as I wait to see Your promises fulfilled, I earnestly seek a moment of holy hush. Help me to recognize You in my stillness, Your very presence speaking to me. Grant me patience and faith as I trust in Your timing. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Question to Ponder

Are you able to find Holy silence in your life?

Prayer from a Still Heart

Dear Father,

In this hour of longing, I appeal to You. Restore the flicker of hope that once brightly shone. Please lead me to a sacred space, where Your embrace shelters my weary heart, and the weight of despair is gently lifted. Unlock the secret chambers within me where hope has hidden, cloaked in the shadows of my heart. With a surrendered spirit, I invite You in, to breathe life into my weary soul once more, and weave hope's tapestry anew.

Thank You for the light that pierces my night and for guiding me on paths toward healing's embrace. This Christmas, I cherish the gift of hope. You are my beacon amidst the darkness, shining bright. Selah.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Holiday Soul Care

The holiday season can evoke a mix of emotions—while many celebrate, others may struggle with sadness or loss. If the thought of the holidays brings you dread, you're not alone. I understand this pain firsthand; after losing my mother seven years ago and my father this year, Christmas feels particularly lonely.

Navigating this season is challenging, especially with societal pressures to be happy. Be kind to yourself and know it's okay to step back when needed. Express your feelings rather than suppressing them, and refrain from situations that may cause pain. Embrace your healing journey—take the time you need, trusting that brighter days lie ahead.

As seasons change, remember that God's love remains constant. He invites us to be strong and courageous (Deuteronomy 31:6) as He is the one who gives us strength and courage. Pour your heart out to Him anytime; each prayer unlocks His unwavering love.

Don't feel pressured to celebrate if it doesn't resonate with you. God values our hearts more than strict adherence to traditions. If you need a break from the holidays, take it. Your emotional well-being is paramount. Find solace in God's presence and prioritize your mental peace during this season.
