Letting Go

Take sometime to become still in God's presence.

Slow your breathing through the following meditation:

INHALE:     Breath in the peace of Christ.

EXHALE:    Breath out the anxiety of the day.

INHALE:     Breath in the gentleness of Christ.

EXHALE:    Breath out the mental clutter and distraction.

INHALE:     Breath in the freedom of Christ.

EXHALE:     Breath out that which binds you.

INHALE:      Breath in the joy of Christ. 

EXHALE:     Breath out discouragement.

INHALE:      Breath in the love of Christ.

EXHALE:     Breath out selfishness and personal agendas.

Continue doing this until you feel ready to meet God according to His plan.



Offer yourself to Him for His purpose during your time of contemplation.
