Good Morning Sisters!

Prayer for the Day

Available for 27 days

Good Morning. With nearly 30 million Sikhs in the world, the Sikh faith is the fifth largest religion. So I’m aware of being part of a global community that shares a common reference - the scripture called the Sri Guru Granth Sahib. At the same time, all is in small! In 2019, I joined a committee which two colleagues from different parts of the world had also joined. We soon created a “breakout” group simply called “sisters” on a separate messaging app. Since then, we’ve each encountered unexpected opportunities and life challenges, a range of ups and downs, causes for reflection on personal and professional decisions. Our sisters group of just 3 members has become a significant feature and support in my life. Sometimes we need the more personal, human touch. These two women pay attention, reflect back to me my blindspots, remind me of my gifts when I’m full of doubt, challenge me if my perceptions are distorted so I get a clearer view that is in alignment with my faith. The Sri Guru Granth Sahib is 1430 Angs or pages of Divine Wisdom that is mystical and poetic, reflecting the light of the soul. But there are three earthly words from these two women that have also been a light in dark times, offering a meaningful connection when I’ve felt the lonely or solitude nature of the soul. Each day, the first message I often receive is: “Good Morning Sisters!” Dear God, thank you for reminding me that your care and love is always at work, here on the ground, often transmitted through everyday words from the people who are part of my day-to-day life, bringing me back to a deep feeling of connection which includes your presence in all things. Sat Naam
