Light in the Darkest Moments
As it says in the Psalms, when life gets really challenging we can reach a point where "Darkness is my only friend." How do we get out of that place so that our lives don't get stuck on what is tragic? How can we move on with the loss and heartbreak and find life anew?

Transforming Negativity
It is easy to give way to negativity, to allow it to shape our lives. How can we, with God's help, transform that negativity? A simple way forward is to think about who we want to be - a diminisher or an illuminator.

Forward in Faith
We all experience hollowness at times, where life feels empty. Our faith often can feel the same. How do we get back on track? What are the new commitments that grow out of a rekindled faith?

It Is All a Miracle
When we feel empty, burned out, God asks us to remember the miracle. It is not just the miracle of the 1969 "Miracle Mets" World Series Championship. It is the miracle of life, the miracle of the "countless points of goodness."

From Emptiness to Purpose
Abraham's Journey and Our Spiritual Renewal
There is an emptiness that is life giving. Let's hold that as spaciousness. And there is an emptiness that feels soul-defeating. Lets hold that as the void.
Out of the good emptiness, out of God-given spaciousness, we can find commitment again, a commitment that will help us re-discover purpose and renewal.

The Innocence of Wisdom
Innocence is not something we have to leave behind along with childhood. As we grow to understand our intimate and deep connection to God, a new, wise innocence can emerge.

Learning How to Pray
One of the quieter ways to create a space for God is prayer. Prayer, as Swedenborg writes, is simply a conversation with God. What are the different ways we can pray? What can we pray for? What approaches might help?
