Week 2 - Sacred Stillness of Winter: Embracing God's Timing

Updated: Feb 3

Scripture reminds us that everything has a season, and that includes winter.


The Beauty of Winter's Stillness


We live in a culture that resists slowness. Yet, God is never in a hurry. Winter teaches us that rest is not wasted time. It is sacred timing. It is faith expressed through stillness.


If your life feels quieter right now, less productive, or less visible, this may not be a setback. It may be God inviting you to trust Him beneath the surface.


You are not behind. You are being held.


May you release the pressure to rush ahead and rest in the wisdom of God’s seasons.


Finding Peace in the Quiet


In this season of stillness, we can find peace. We can embrace the quiet moments that winter brings. These moments allow us to reflect, to breathe, and to connect with our inner selves.


Let’s take a moment to appreciate the beauty around us. The trees stand bare, yet they are not empty. They are preparing for new growth. Similarly, we, too, can prepare for renewal.


As we look outside, we can see the beauty of winter. The snow blankets the ground, creating a serene landscape. This stillness invites us to pause and breathe deeply.


Guided Biblical Meditation


Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1


  • Sit comfortably and place one hand over your heart.

  • Breathe in slowly, counting to four. Exhale to six.

  • Gently repeat: “God’s timing is enough.”

  • Notice any resistance within you—and release it to God.

  • Rest in silence for one minute.


In this moment, we can feel the presence of God. We can trust that He is with us, guiding us through each season.


Embracing God's Invitation


As we navigate through winter, let us embrace God’s invitation. He calls us to trust in His timing. We can find comfort in knowing that every moment is part of His divine plan.


Let’s remember that our worth is not measured by productivity. It is found in our connection with Him. We are cherished and loved, just as we are.


May we find joy in the stillness. May we discover renewal in the quiet.


With love,

Tanya
