Welcome,

And thank you for joining me on this guided prayer of the heart,

Also known as the Jesus Prayer.

This prayer is a beloved Christian mystic practice that has been used for centuries to uncover the Christ within each of us.

So as I give instructions on this practice,

Start to breathe deeply,

Find a comfortable seat,

Lie down,

Or head out for a walk.

As I repeat this prayer 50 times,

You will follow along in your head and with your breath.

With each inhale,

Lord Jesus Christ,

Son of God,

And with each exhale,

Have mercy on me.

With each inhale,

You're inhaling God's unconditional love for you that fills your body and your soul with pure love and delight.

And with each exhale,

You're releasing any negativity and releasing and giving your burdens onto God,

Who loves you unconditionally and grants you mercy.

So,

Let us get started.

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,

The power,

And the glory,

Forever and ever.

Amen.
