Day 2:

Craving God

1. Center Down

Before we begin today’s spiritual excursion, please
take a few moments to breathe! Take three slow,
deep breaths, expanding from your abdomen; try not
to raise your shoulders. As you inhale, whisper, “Our
very being…” As you exhale, whisper, “...longs for
You, Lord.” This way of breathing and speaking is
known as a “breath prayer.”

2. Slowly read aloud the following Scriptures
(Feel free to pause at any time during your reading to reflect on,
thank, praise, or acknowledge God’s stirring in your thoughts and
emotions.)

“As a deer years for streams of water, so I yearn for You, O
God. My whole being [nefesh] thirsts for God, for the living
God.” (Psalm 42:1-3, RA)

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.” (Matthew 5:6, ESV)
