Breath Prayer
Breathing in: Guide me…
Breathing out: Guard me…
Reflection
Hold the cup in your hands.
Feel its warmth.
Savor its scent.
Touch the sides and the bottom of the cup.
Run your fingers around the edge of the cup.
Close your eyes and imagine your spiritual boundaries.
Let yourself lean on an unnamed source of Goodness for a while.
Ask for whatever boundaries you need to protect your inner life.
Listen to your heart as you drink your coffee (tea/hot beverage).
From the Bible
I have called you by name,
You are mine…
You are precious in my sight,
And honored, and I love you
—Isaiah 43:1,
