Why Pray for the Pause?

During an extremely difficult time in my life, after experiencing many tragedies, loss and hurt, God placed this phrase in my mind. It stuck in my mind and I slowly realized that phrase relates to so many difficult challenges all of us are facing daily. God was and is still trying to tell me to slow down and become more aware of the world around me. I continue to struggle, but Pray that I take that breath, that pause, to allow myself to be present in the world around me. I hope this sight helps brings that awareness to you as well.

How does P4P relate to me?

Pray that God grant you a moment of grace and direction before you react in anger, say things or make decisions that you will regret later.
