Day Six
Today, let’s focus on another of the five senses - our ability to see.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN…
Grab your phone and put it in airplane mode.
Now, get in a comfortable posture.
SET A TIMER FOR 10 MINUTES
SLOWLY READ
Psalm 46:8-10 (The Message)
“Attention, all! See the marvels of GOD! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth,Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee.
"Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything."
NOW, LET’S BREATHE
Close your eyes and take five deep breaths.
Breath in through your nose, hold it for 4 seconds, and exhale slowly through your mouth. Don’t rush, patiently breathe.
INVITE GOD INTO THIS MOMENT.
Ask God to eliminate the noise and to speak to you.
When you are ready, invite God into this moment with a simple prayer.
SIT IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD
Don’t rush. Keep breathing.
Open your eyes and notice what you see right now.
What do you see now that you didn’t 5 minutes ago?
What is the smallest thing you can see?
What details are you becoming aware of?
OFFER A PRAYER TO GOD
“God, slow me down so that I may see you. Help me take a long, loving look at your blessings. ”
Repeat as often as needed.
TIMES UP
When the timer goes off, share with God one thing you are grateful for at this moment.
Finally, grab your journal and write down a few sentences about what it felt like to settle.
