Week of SlowSample

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 Luke 5:12-16.
Part 3. Questions for personal reflection. Give yourself time to journal as you think upon these questions.
- What was your response to Jesus embracing a man with leprosy?
- What does this Chapter reveal to you about Jesus?
- Why do you think Jesus often withdrew to quiet places?
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}
Jesus you are willing...
{exhale}
To make me whole...
