Welcome to a time of being still and being loved.

I'm Alisa and we are going to rest in his presence together.

Take a moment to place your body, your mind, your heart and your soul in any position that

feels restful and attentive.

Again inhale, expand the belly wide in the collarbone and exhale.

Please remember at any time if your mind wanders away, it gets anxious.

Come back to your breath.

It's an anchor for your soul.

It's the very essence of what gives you life as you have breath.

That breath is feeding and feeling all 12 systems of your body that you don't even have

to think about working.

From the moment you were formed in your mother's womb, God was working and forming you to

be his, to know him so that you might linger and abide in his presence.

So let's pray.

When we need you, our minds need you, our hearts need you, our will needs you, and our bodies

they grow tired, God.

They get sore and sometimes we think they're failing us and sometimes they are God, but

you are the healer, you are the great physician, you are the wonderful counselor and an everlasting

father, and so father we come to you as your son and your daughter in need.

We need you, come woo us once again with your love, speak to us through your word and
