Immanuel… God is with us.

We find ourselves, smack dab in the middle of the Holiday season, caught up in the unavoidable hustle and bustle! The holidays can feel as life-giving as they can be draining. No matter how intentional we are to keep focus on the “why” we celebrate, the “why” seems to be consistently overrun by the how, when, where and with who.

Ironically, even though we often find ourselves surrounded by people, whether strangers at the store, or with co-workers, friends or family, this season can still feel like the loneliest of them all.

Considering this truth, we invite you slow things down, even if only for the next 15 minutes. Escape the demands of all the To-Do’s to settle in, notice your breath and discover Immanuel, “God is with us”.

Immanuel, God is with us. - A Word by Word Breath Prayer inspired by the scripture found in Matthew 1:23b (NLT)
