I Find the Comfort I Seek By Going Within.
Whether I feel in need of comfort in the form of a kind word or loving touch or am called upon to soothe another, I begin within. I know I cannot help anyone if I am fearful or full of worry. I center myself, remembering there is nowhere I can be without God. I might take a walk or say a short prayer, relaxing and finding my equilibrium before taking the next step. Once I have taken the time to pause, I can explore my thoughts and innermost feelings or provide a sacred space that allows someone to explore theirs. Openhearted and patient, I listen—whether to myself or to the person in need of my support. I don’t try to analyze or fix anything, simply allowing divine guidance and strength to shine through. Comfort is assured.
Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his presence continually.—1 Chronicles 16:11
