Week of PsalmsShembull

Part 1. Preparing your heart to be present with God. Allow yourself a moment in silence; acknowledging God is present with you. This moment can be as long or short as you need it to be to begin to feel settled. Perhaps take a moment to take inventory of your day, what has happened or what is ahead. Write down anything you think needs to be remembered later to be fully present in this moment.

Part 2. Slowly read through Psalm 139:13-18. Allow time for the words to rest in your heart and mind, even repeat some verses or words that may have stuck out to you.

Part 3. Questions for personal reflection. Give yourself time to journal as you think upon these questions.

• What does it mean for us to be fearfully and wonderfully made?
• How can this passage shape the way you see yourself?
• Take a moment to write down thoughts you believe God has about you. How does this passage describe His thoughts toward you?

Part 4. Breath prayers are a simple way to engage with the passage throughout your day. You can take small moments throughout your day to engage with this prayer (consider setting several daily reminders on your phone). This is also a great way to calm yourself when you get flustered amidst the busyness of life.

Breath Prayer:

{inhale}

I am Your creation...

{exhale}

Lovingly known by You...
