Series: Think About What You Are Thinking About
Dear Dreamer,
This week, I felt the invitation deep in my soul before I ever said a word: “Come back to your first love.” Not in a performative way, not in a “fix it” kind of way—but in the tender, sacred way where God draws us back to the center. Back to the quiet. Back to Him.
This episode wasn’t about praying more—it was about learning to live prayerfully. Not from pressure, but from presence. There’s something holy about not rushing through your week but starting it with a pause. With breath. With intention.
We talked about what it means to pray without ceasing—but not in a religious or unreachable way. The kind of unceasing prayer we’re stepping into is about awareness. Communion. Whispers that don’t always need words. Honest moments that don’t always have resolution.
This morning, I shared how God has been gently interrupting my routines and asking me to slow down. Not to do more, but to be with Him. And maybe that’s your word too—to stop separating the sacred from the everyday. Because when God is near, all of it becomes sacred: brushing your teeth, sending that email, exhaling in the middle of a hard moment.
I got vulnerable about something, too—about how our view of God is often shaped by our relationship with our earthly father. And how, for many of us, that impacts how we pray. If that hit home for you, I want you to know you’re not broken—you’re being invited into healing. God isn’t another human who let you down. He’s not distant. He’s near. He’s not waiting for a polished version of you. He’s drawing you as you are.
There was one moment where I felt the Holy Spirit settle in while I said it: “Your breath is a prayer.” And I believe that’s where He wants to meet us this week. Not in doing more. Not in perfect phrases. But in the simple, sacred act of remembering He is here—and so are we.
So if all you can do today is breathe and say, “God, help…”—let that be enough. Let it be holy. Let it be prayer.
You're not too far gone, too distracted, or too tired. You’re just being renewed. And that renewal starts with one breath, one whispered yes, one pause that makes room for God to move.
Let your life be the prayer this week.
Keep Praying
Candace Kamille 💛.
