Sacred Pauses: Finding God in Everyday Moments

Sacred Pauses; A Meaningful and Transformative Moment.

Life has a way of moving fast. We jump from one thing to the next; meetings, errands, phone calls, social media scrolls. Before we know it, the day has passed, and we’re left wondering if we ever really noticed it.

But God doesn’t just show up on Sunday mornings. He whispers in the quiet corners of our ordinary days, if only we’ll pause long enough to listen.

I’ve started to think of these pauses as little altars—sacred moments scattered throughout the day. Like when the sun hits just right on your kitchen table, or when laughter erupts in the middle of a hard conversation. Even the deep breath you take before answering a difficult email can be holy if you let it.

Slowing down is an act of faith. It’s a way of saying, “I trust that the world can keep spinning without me rushing.” It’s also a reminder that God is already here. We don’t have to strive so hard to find Him; He is present in the stillness, in the routine, in the breath.

Sacred pauses are not about escaping life but about entering it more fully. They are invitations to notice grace in motion. And when we allow these small moments to draw us closer to God, our perspective shifts: the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and the mundane becomes meaningful.

Recognize a Truly Meaningful Moment

A Reflection for You

Take a few minutes today to practice a sacred pause. Notice where God is meeting you in the middle of your “ordinary.” Maybe it’s in a conversation, in a quiet drive, or in the smell of dinner on the stove.

Journal Prompt:

• Where in your day do you most often sense God’s presence?

• What is one small pause you can create this week to make space for His whisper?

• How might these pauses change the way you see your everyday life?

  
  

Friends, my prayer is that you begin to recognize that each sacred pause is a gift. Not something extra to add to your to-do list, but a gentle reminder that God is already here, waiting to meet you in the middle of your beautiful, ordinary life.

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”  ~Ecclesiastes 3:1
