Week of SlowНамуна

Part 1. Preparing your heart to be present with God. Allow yourself a moment in silence; acknowledging God is present with you. Perhaps take a few deep breaths. Focused breathing helps the mind to pause, reset, and reorient our attention on God.

Part 2. Slowly read through Ephesians 3:14-21.

Part 3. Questions for personal reflection. Give yourself time to journal as you think upon these questions.

• Do you think it significant that Paul would first pray for us to be rooted in love and then to be able to grasp the depth of Christ’s love?
• How does this prayer relate to the other prayers Paul has prayed for believers?
• How can you turn this into a daily prayer for yourself or others?

Part 4. Breath prayers, as provided daily, are a simple way to engage the passage throughout your day. There are two parts to each breath prayer; simply say the first phrase as you breathe in, the second phrase as you breathe out. You can take small moments throughout your day to engage with this prayer(consider setting several daily reminders on your phone). This is also a great way to calm yourself when you get flustered amidst the busyness of life.

Breath Prayer

{inhale}

Strengthen our inner man...

{exhale}

Root us in love...

And as you go from this place, may your heart and mind be filled with peace. Amen.
