Find a comfortable position and gently close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
And as you exhale,
Release any tension you may be feeling in your body.
Allow yourself to settle into this quiet moment with God,
Acknowledging his presence around you and within you.
Now bring your awareness to your breath,
Inhale deeply,
Inviting the Holy Spirit into your heart,
And as you exhale,
Releasing any worries or burdens you may have about the coming day.
Now I want you to reflect on one to two things you're grateful for today.
Whisper a quiet thank you,
Lord,
As you focus on all the blessings he has put in your life.
Now reflect on some verses with me.
Psalms 118.
24,
This is a day that the Lord has made,
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Let these words settle in your heart and consider how you can rejoice and honor the Lord in the way you approach your day today.
Lord,
I want to thank you for this new day and the gift of life.
Help me to walk in your light and make choices that honor you and show love to those around me.
Be my guide,
Be my strength,
And be my peace today,
Lord.
Amen.
I want you to set a simple intention for your day.
It could be to act with kindness,
Speak words of encouragement,
Or approach your tasks with joy and patience.
Now take a final deep breath,
And as you exhale,
I want you to imagine yourself surrounded by God's grace and by his love.
Open your eyes whenever you're ready,
There's absolutely no rush.
Carry this peace and intention with you throughout the day.
Trust that the Lord walks beside you every step of the way.
