You can hear the same Bible passage a hundred times and still miss the one line you needed today. We slow everything down with this guided meditation that is simple on purpose: settle into an upright seat, take a few deep breaths, and practice listening to Scripture with patience instead of pressure. 

Look with new eyes and see what God is inviting you to hear.
