Find a quiet space where you can sit or lie down comfortably.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
Let your thoughts begin to settle.
Feel the presence of God surrounding you,
Gentle,
Steady,
And full of love.
With each breath,
Invite his peace to fill your mind and body.
Whisper quietly,
Lord,
I am here with you.
Our Father,
Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
And the power,
And the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.
Now take a slow,
Deep breath in and let it fall gently out.
Feel God's peace resting in your heart.
Know that his spirit goes with you into this new day,
Guiding,
Protecting,
And strengthening you.
As the light of morning rises,
Whisper,
Lord,
Let your will be done through me today.
Open your eyes softly.
Step into the day with calm confidence,
Covered in his love and grace.
