It is a season that reminds us of change, letting go, and trust in God’s steady care.

Reflection
Autumn reminds us that change is part of life. The trees let go of their leaves, the air grows colder, and the days shorten. Yet in all of this, there is beauty and peace. Night prayer in autumn helps us embrace change with trust, knowing that God holds every season of our lives.
As we end the day, we can give thanks for the gifts of this season—harvest, beauty, and community—while also trusting God with the transitions that lie ahead.
