Is everybody looking for you? They were seeking Jesus and he slipped away to pray and ground himself in God's presence. Will you slip away now? 

Listen to Mark 1:35-45 in The Message translation and ponder how God might call you apart to feel grounded in God's presence this Lenten season.

The German theologian Meister Eckhart writes, "God is not found in the soul by adding anything, but by a process of subtraction.”  Pause now and ponder with God what you might let go of this Lenten season. It may not be a thing. You may be nudged to let go of a habit or even an attitude. Ask God to meet you now and practice letting go.

How's your energy? Positive energy matters so much these days.  Let's find more of that good energy God longs for us to tap into and let go of anything else that gets in the way with this simple breath prayer. We'll practice breathing in positivity as we release negative emotions with each exhale. 

Inhale: I breathe in the goodness God offers me today
Exhale: I breathe out any negative thoughts, feelings, or emotions that get in my way

God's goodness is all around! Will you breathe it in today?
