Today, I invite you into a
moment of silence. In this silence, you
won’t do anything. You
will focus on your breathing, each inhale and slow exhale. When your mind interrupts and says you will
be late to an appointment, breathe and thank your mind, but the appointment
isn’t for another two hours. Or when the
ceiling fan clanks, thank it for cooling you off and focus on your breathing. We all suffer from monkey mind, where our
thoughts grab hold of the steering wheel and punch the emotional gas of life to
100 mph. We need breaks to breathe and
rest. Remember, God rests. This is a holy resistance in a culture
addicted to hurry. It is prophetic to
say that you matter to God, not because of what you accomplished
today, but because all matter matters to God.
Breathe with me today, the breath of God, filling you with the love we
need. Amen.
