Welcome friend.

Let's begin by taking a few breaths to tune in to ourselves.

Take a big breath in and let it out.

Continue to breathe big and slow.

As you inhale,

Open to the sacred place surrounding you and notice how your body is filling up with air and then releasing air.

Allow a situation to come to mind,

Something that you need courage for.

As you inhale,

Stay open.

Let's pray.

Dear Lord,

Please grant me courage today.

Courage to do what needs to be done.

It's time.

I know the time is right,

Yet I falter.

Lord,

Please take my fear away and help me to be brave.

I know you are with me always.

I breathe in courage.

I breathe out fear.

Please help me take the next right step and find peace in each decision.

Guide me and help me to be strong.

I breathe in courage.

I breathe out fear.

Thank you for always watching over me.

Amen.

Take one more big breath in and let it go.

May you have peace as you move through your day today.
