“I know that I have to move from speaking about Jesus to letting him speak within me, from thinking about Jesus to letting him think within me, from acting for and with Jesus to letting him act through me. I know the only way for me to see the world is to see it through his eyes.” 
Henri J.M. Nouwen

Settle Yourself and Release

Find a quiet place to relax and be with God. Settle into your seat. Notice the sights, sounds and smells around you. Look for any tension and release it. Take several deep breaths.

God be in my head and in my understanding.

God be at my end and at my departing.
