CLOSE ENCOUNTERS

Scripture: The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.--Psalm 145:18

Invitation:  Now take some deep cleansing breaths.  Slowly inhale.  Slowly exhale.  Slowly inhale all that is of God and exhale all that is not God.  Settle your mind and your spirit.  Be still and quiet and invite an awareness of God's presence.

Now read today's scripture very slowly.  Repeat 5 times.  Each times as you read, slow your pace. 
The LORD is near to all who call on him, 
to all who call on him in truth.
After the 5th time, only read or repeat the words that really resonate with you.  Repeat them over and over.  

Make your reading of today's scripture personal.  What comes to mind for you when read this scripture.  Dwell on those thoughts.  Share your thoughts openly with God as you read and reflect on today's passage.  Discover what happens....
 
Prayer: Holy One, thank you for your ever abiding presence.  Your support and care sustain me.  Amen.

The Reverend Tiffney Marley
