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: O God, creator of all humankind, I bring to you the cares and concerns of all your creatures. Look now to those who cry for hel0p from every corner of the earth, for you alone are able to satisfy our deepest desires. Amen.
