Hello, beloved. This is my name is Michelle Tupin, and it's my pleasure and privilege to usher you into a place of worship, reflection, and meditation.

Thank you for your desire to sit at Jesus' feet with me. Let's begin by asking the Lord to unplug our spiritual ears.

So that we are ultra-sensitive to His voice and presence. Join me with a deep breath in through the nose and a deep breath out through the mouth.

And if you need to take some time here, maybe even hit that pause button and do this a few times, I welcome that. I encourage that deep breath in through the nose, deep breath out through the mouth.

Oh, Lord, we acknowledge that there's nothing to achieve here. God, there's no need to control or influence.

Father, I thank you that this is simply an invitation to rest in the adoration of your love, God.

I pray that you would make us receptive toward you, that you would awaken our hearts to your voice and your word.

God, would you help us to rest in the presence of the Holy Spirit deep in our own spirit?

And we ask these things in your precious name, Jesus. Amen.

All right, I have a breath prayer to start us off. So wherever you are, if you are able to, I just want to encourage you to close your eyes, take a deep breath in,

and begin to whisper the words, combine my love with your love. And as you exhale, whisper the words, wrap my heart into your heart.

So again, on the inhalation, combine my love with your love. And on the exhalation, wrap my heart into your heart.

Let's take a few moments here to breathe and whisper this prayer, combining your love with the Father's love and wrapping your heart into his heart.

In Psalm 27 verse 14 of the Passion Translation, we read the words, be entwined as one with the Lord.

Be entwined as one with the Lord.

The Hebrew word for weight can also mean to be entwined, which means to tie, twist, bind as if to make a rope.

Be entwined as one with the Lord.

In Isaiah 26 verse 8, again, in the Passion translation, it says, yes, we will follow your ways, Lord Yahweh, and entwine our hearts with yours.

What this passage is saying is, while we're waiting on you, God, we will bind, we will twist, tangle, and weave the emotions of our hearts together with yours.

Like a vine weaving its way around a trellis, as we wait for your plan to unravel.

When you hear these words and you hear these passages and you consider what it means to be entwined in the waiting,

what emotions begin to press into you?
