This can be a grounding moment to help you stay present. Part 2. Slowly read through Psalm 139: 1-12. Be encouraged to approach scripture with simplicity, with no pressure to immediately grasp every verse accurately. Part 3. Questions for personal reflection. Give yourself time to journal as you think upon these questions. * Take a moment and write down any part of this scripture that stuck out to you.

How can you acknowledge God is with you wherever you are, be it emotionally, mentally, or physically? Part 4. Breath prayers are a simple way to engage with the passage throughout your day. You can take small moments throughout your day to engage with this prayer (consider setting several daily reminders on your phone) .
