It is time.
It is time to close your eyes,
To sit quietly,
Be still,
Silent,
Relax your body,
And yet remain alert and attentive.
Gently become aware of your body,
Sitting still,
Feet resting on the floor,
Relaxing.
Notice where you are holding tension and stress.
Breathe in to those areas and relax.
Again,
Take a nice deep breath as you inhale and exhale,
Relaxing further with each breath.
Notice your interior state.
What are you feeling?
What are you thinking?
Become aware of your lungs breathing and your heart beating as you settle deeper into prayer.
Come Holy Spirit,
Come Holy Spirit,
I'm willing to receive.
I open myself to the presence of God's grace and healing action within me.
Welcome,
Most Holy Spirit.
Welcome into all the conditions of my life,
Just as they are and just as I am.
Welcome.
Welcome,
Healing presence of the living God into this moment,
Into my feelings and my state of being.
Welcome.
I let all things be exactly as they are,
Rather than dismiss,
Ignore,
Or try to suppress any feeling or thought.
With your help,
I accept what is without judgment.
Welcome Holy Spirit within me as I let go of my desire for belonging and security.
Welcome presence of divine love as I let go of my desire for affection and esteem.
Welcome,
Most high God,
As I let go of my desire for power and control.
I let go of my desire to change any present situation that is especially challenging.
I welcome the light of Christ within me,
That I might see things more clearly and understand more deeply.
I let go of my desire to change anyone and I welcome your transforming love.
With your help,
My beloved,
I open myself up to your presence and your healing action of grace within me,
Now and always.
Let it be so.
Let it be now,
Through the power of the living Christ.
Let it be.
Amen.
