Prayer Cannot Be Rushed | Rev. Camille Henderson-Edwards | Holistic Gathering

In this Holistic Gathering Prayer Reflection, Rev. Camille Henderson-Edwards invites us into the sacred practice of intentional stillness. In seasons when the world greets us with urgency, crisis, and constant demands, prayer creates space to slow down and commune with God. Through the simple rhythm of preparing a cup of tea, reading sacred words, and entering Scripture, Rev. Camille reminds us that some things cannot—and should not—be rushed. This reflection invites us to pause, breathe, and return to the presence of God who meets us before the work begins. Rev. Camille Henderson-Edwards serves as Senior Executive Director for Advocacy at the General Board of Church and Society of The United Methodist Church. This reflection includes a prayer from Black Liturgies: Prayers, Poems, and Meditations for Staying Human by Cole Arthur Riley. ✨ Take a moment today: Prepare your tea or coffee. Sit in stillness. Listen for the voice of God calling you back to yourself. #HolisticGathering #PrayerPractice #SpiritualFormation #Stillness #ContemplativePrayer #BlackLiturgies
