Begin by reading the invocation. Read the assigned Psalm for the week once or twice and take a few moments to center yourself on God, relaxing and paying close attention to your breathing. Pray for yourself and others, allowing time for God to place others in your thoughts. Read the day's assigned Scripture slowly and reflectively, perhaps more than once, taking time to allow thoughts and images to form in your mind. Reflect on the Scripture, perhaps writing in your journal. Close with the benediction.
Invocation:
Our Lord Jesus, who turned water into wine as a sign of the new Kingdom, in you the old has passed away. Behold! You make all things new. Give us today a superabundance of the bread and drink you provide, that all our noble desires may be satisfied. Through your strong name. Amen.
