3. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources
he will empower you with inner strength
through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his
home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your
roots will grow down into God’s love and keep
you strong. And may you have the power to
understand, as all God’s people should, how
wide, how long, how high, and how deep his
love is.

4. May you experience the love of Christ, though it
is too great to understand fully. Then you will be
made complete with all the fullness of life and
power that comes from God.
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his
mighty power at work within us, to accomplish
infinitely more than we might ask or think.
Ephesians 3: 16 - 20

5. I gently become aware of my body.
I gently become aware of my interior state -
thoughts, feelings
I allow myself to focus, feel, and sink into the
feelings, emotions, thoughts, sensations and
commentaries in my body.

6. I welcome and consent to the presence and
action of the indwelling Spirit of God in the
feelings, emotions, thoughts, commentaries, or
sensations in my body by saying,
“Welcome. Here I am God - angry, confused, all
my muscles in a knot again
Do you see me? Please come.”

7. I let go of my desire for: safety and security,
esteem and affection, power and control.
I let go of the feeling to change the situation.
I let go of the desire to change any situation,
feeling, condition, person, or myself.
I open to the love and presence of God and the
healing action of grace within me.
