Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, a bit lost? Don’t forget to breathe in the Holy Spirit. Try the following five steps:
- Slowly breathe in fully; breathe out completely.
- As you breathe in, imagine all that is goodness … strength … life … peace … love … God … flow into you like fresh air…
- As you breathe out, imagine all that is fatigue … tension … stress … anxieties … fears … restlessness … not God ... leave you like air already used up.
- Be aware of God. Recall the last time you were aware of God’s nearness, when you felt close God ... try to place yourself in that similar experience ....
- Rest in God as you would with a close friend or parent … Simply be …
