Week of Psalmsنمونہ

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 few deep breaths. Focused breathing helps the mind to pause, reset, and reorient our attention on God.

Part 2. Slowly read through Psalm 1. Be encouraged to approach scripture with simplicity, with no pressure to immediately grasp every verse accurately.

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

• What pattern do you see in Psalm 1 verses 1 and 2?
• What can be created in you from meditating on God’s word? What happens to your heart and mind when you focus on scripture?
• How can this scripture encourage you to live daily?

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 delight in You...

{exhale}

I stand firm in You...
