Friend Carolyn Helstrom is 73 years old. She went into Loyalist Retirement residence Nov. 3, 2025. She had a fall and concussion over 2 years ago. She saw a Neurologist in August but has no diagnosis as yet. She struggles to think straight and her ability to walk without a walker is not possible now. Both parents had dementia and she may have early onset of this. I would like prayer for her. She is anxious and fearful. She is a longtime Presbyterian. Her church was in Stamford area of Niagara Falls. I prayed with her today and she was so grateful. Thankyou. Liz Field, new person at Southridge since Sept. 2025.

Wednesday

Breath Prayer

When you want to describe the characteristics of God, what is the first thing that comes to mind? When you talk about the presence of God in your life, what feelings surface? How high up on your list is Prince of Peace? Is peace an attribute you feel often in your daily life?

Thursday

Breath Prayer

Do you hold onto shame and guilt when it comes to spending time with God? Do you find it daunting to “do it” right? Is your inner critic harsh when it comes to comparison?

Today, as you engage in this breath prayer, allow yourself to be present with your feelings and also give yourself grace. Allow your body and mind to settle and simply “be”.

Friday

Breath Prayer

Do you find it easy to sit in the presence of the Holy Spirit? Does the silence become increasingly loud or does it feel natural to be still?

Wherever you find yourself on the spectrum today we want to invite you to seek the presence of the Holy Spirit today and see what stirs up in you.
