Day 1: Stay on the Bridge

Opening Stillness

Take a breath. Let your shoulders soften. God is not rushing you this morning.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” - Proverbs 3:5
— English Standard Version (ESV)

Reflection

Sometimes God’s direction feels almost too simple.

Stay here.

Don’t wander.

This is enough.

The bridge doesn’t look exciting. It doesn’t offer the perfect angle or the better view. But it is solid. It is safe. It is exactly where we were told to be.

And yet, something in us believes there’s always something better just a few steps beyond obedience. So we wander. We step down onto uneven ground, convinced we’ll be careful, convinced we’ll be fine.

Until we’re not.

Soul Question

Where might God be inviting you to stay put today?

Prayer

God, slow my steps. Help me trust that where You’ve placed me is enough. Quiet the part of me that believes I’m missing out. Teach me the peace of staying.

Closing Invitation

Sit quietly for one minute. Imagine yourself standing on solid ground with God beside you.
