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, whose kingdom is truth and love, help me in this hour to see more cle4arly and to journey more consistently along the narrow way that leads to live eternal. Equip me for the tests and rigors of this day. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
