Make time for the quiet moments as God

whispers and the world is loud.

For the next few minutes......sit comfortably, breathe, and relax.  Then, mentally repeat the words below. Let them resonate with you and become part of your being.

God, you are closer to me than my own breathing,

as present and life-giving as my own heart.  

May each breath I take, and each heartbeat I experience

deepen my awareness of your presence.
