Spiritual Direction: Autumn Months

“O God of Creation, you have blessed us with the changing of the seasons.

As we welcome the autumn months,
may the earlier setting of the sun
remind us to take time to rest.

May the brilliant colors of the leaves
remind us of the wonder of your creation.

May the steam of our breath in the cool air
remind us that it is you who gives us the breath of life.

We praise you for your goodness forever and ever.

The change of the seasons can be a time to experience God anew in the world around us. How does God show up to you in this autumn season? Take a few moments each day to notice God in the people and places you see. Pay attention to the ways that God is present with you in this new season. And know always that God loves you deeply, no matter the season!
