Begin by getting comfortable and allowing your body to relax.
As you begin to feel your body releasing, allow your eyes to slowly close.
Let your awareness rest with this verse and prayer.
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
And again. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
Gently bring your awareness to the feeling of the body,
just noticing any sensations in the body.
Maybe it’s the air on the skin
or the weight of the body in the bed.
Follow your breath. And notice how it changes the body.
The inhales expanding the body
and the exhales relaxing the body.
Follow it as it comes in through the nose and goes back out through the mouth.
It’s natural and effortless. Your body knows how to relax.
You’re simply unearthing the calm that was already there.
Begin to feel the space around the body.
Notice it with a subtle sense of gratitude and acceptance. Try
not to resist anything. You’re just revealing the peace that’s already present in your heart.
Let go of your worries. This is a safe place. of love and deep rest. Allow your mind to find refuge in God.
Bring your attention to the way the breath feels.
Let it settle into a natural rhythm,
effortless and natural.
Notice how good it feels to just breathe.
With each exhale, let the body feel heavier and heavier.
Begin to allow the muscles to release and unlock.
Feel the effects of gravity on the body, letting gravity pull the body down into the bed. or the chair.
Now, gently bring your attention to your feelings or emotions,
just noticing the feelings that you brought with you today,
not engaging with those emotions, remembering that we can leave those feelings right where they are.
The day is done. Allow God to handle what you cannot.
The thoughts may begin to bubble up, and that’s okay.
Just notice the thoughts, and then let them be.
Rest into that deeper sense of calm that can only be found in God’s love.
You’re inviting God to bring calm over your body, to bring peace into your spirit.
Resting. into your true nature, a child of God.
Take this verse with you, for God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.
