Today, let's focus on where we find calm.

Find a quiet space. Sit up tall, and close your eyes. Set a timer for one to two minutes per movement so that you can be fully present (or increase the time if you want a longer experience).  
 


 

First, pay attention to God. 


Take slow, deep breaths. Focus on the spot that you feel the breath in your body. Settle into the presence of Jesus. 
  • As you breathe in, think, "Jesus says..." 
  • As you breathe out, think, "... Come, follow me" (Luke 18:22).

Second, ponder your inner world.


Process the following with Jesus:
  • Where am I resisting following you, Jesus? 
  • What are you inviting me to this week as I follow you? 
     

Third, prepare to love others.


Ask Jesus to help you answer the following:
  • Who needs leadership from me this week?
  • How can I lead them to the one I'm following (1 Corinthians 11:1)? 

A closing prayer:

Jesus, you are not passive but personally involved in my life. Help me notice the mysterious ways that you move. 

Holy Spirit, make clear to me the Father's desires for my life, my week, for this day. 

Help me pay attention to your invitations, Jesus, and grant me the courage to follow — no matter what the cost.  .  

Amen.
 

Peace be with you until next week,
Rusty McKie
