Hi beloved, thank you for joining me for this be still and be loved.

I pray that it blesses you.

Let's start by taking a few moments to acknowledge where you are.

Simply become present with your surroundings.

What do you hear? you smell?

How do you feel? Can you hear the sound of your breath?

Do your shoulders feel tight as your jaw clenched?

When you inhale, where does the breath create expansion?

Can you hear the sound of your exhale? Breathe in through the nose and out through the nose.

Give your muscles freedom to disengage and your mind the space to fixate on the Holy Spirit's

presence within and around you. continuing to inhale and exhale through your nose. I'd like to offer you this simple breath prayer.

On the inhale, whisper the words under your breath.

So precious is your love for me.

And as you exhale, you paid the highest price.

Inhales so precious is your love for me.

Exhale, you paid the highest price. So, Lord I ask that you awaken our sleeping hearts.

The places where we're so full of head knowledge,

but bear hearts that are far from you.

How quickly we can wander and forget the epic things that you've done for us.

May no shadow of sin, blur our spiritual vision,

or block our spiritual ears.

Awakeen us, O Lord.
