Session 5 - Adoration

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 the passage. 

Part 3. Questions for personal reflection or for sharing in a group. For a group facilitation we encourage time for people to share their experiences without discussion. After each person shares the group could respond with a “thank you for sharing.” If you are using this for personal devotion we encourage giving yourself time to journal. 

• What stands out to you from this reading?
• How is this good news to the world? 
• How is this good news in your life?

Part 4. Breath prayers, I invite you to create your own breath prayer from this passage. Listen for words that stand out to you, use two short phrases that can be spoken with one breath. Write them down somewhere so you do not forget.
