Monday – February 22: Breathing Exercise for Lent – Mark Lingle

Today, let’s just start with breathing…

Take a long, deep breath in. . . And breathe in peace.

Allow a long breath out. . . And breathe out stress and anxiety.

Breathe. . .and come into the fuller presence of God.

Best when done at least 10 times...

Or a Lenten practice can be to increase your breaths throughout the season.

Come into the Quiet, a hymn by Diane Davis Andrew, 2001

Come into the quiet, be one with God's breath,

Rest in this waiting place, peace will be there.

Rest, rest, peace will be there.

Repeat, substituting other words like love, truth, hope, for “peace will be there.”

What other words come to you as you sing?
