#FaithIntoPractice Week 5 - Rest
Day 3 - Our musical offering this week (once again from Matthew Nickoloff) is a peaceful song based on Matthew 11:28-30. We invite you to listen and join in singing this simple, repetitive song and to let the melody guide you into a deeper sense of peace.
The Practice Explained: Make a plan to take a Sabbath this week. Work ahead and shift your schedule so that you can take 24 straight hours of rest. On the day of your Sabbath, move slowly, take your time, and simply enjoy the blessings God has placed in your life.

Day 4 - Prayer is simply a conversation with God and so therefore includes both speaking and listening. Often times, what we perceive to be God’s absence is actually just our own impatience.

Day 1 - This week we invite you to Listen to God. Often times our life of faith can become all about reading, writing, speaking, and asking. But God is still speaking and there is great value in taking time to listen for the subtle messages of God in our lives.

#FaithIntoPractice Week 3- Embodiment
Day 3 - Thanks to Rev Matthew Nickoloff of the South Wedge Mission for this Body Scan meditation. Meditations like these can help to bring awareness and connect you to your body. Sometimes, there is deep wisdom and insight stored in our bodies that we did not realize was with us all along.
The Practice Explained: This week we invite you to link a time of prayer with a physical movement or posture. For example… carry on a conversation with God while walking and imagine God walking beside you. Pray for God’s presence in your life by interlacing your fingers and placing them on top of your head imagine the pressure on your head to be the hand of God resting on you. When asking God for something place your hands open and palms up in front of you, open to receive the blessings of God.

Day 4 - Connecting our spirituality to our body provides wisdom that informs our understanding of both our body and soul. Just as our body needs healthy food and exercise, so too does our soul. And just as our soul is something sacred that should never be disrespected, so too is our body. The two are intrinsically linked.

#FaithIntoPractice Week 2 - Breath
Day 3 - The Hebrew word for God “Yahweh” is said to resemble the sound of Human breath and for this reason, scholars have said that we speak the name of God with each breath we take. This audio file, created by Rev Matthew Nickoloff (@mnickolo), can serve as a guided entry point into Breath Prayer; into recognizing the way that God is as close as our next breath.
The Practice Explained: Choose a short prayer such as “Jesus Christ, have mercy on me” or “God is here; with me now” and break it into two parts. Breath in deeply and say the first half of the prayer quietly. As you exhale, quietly say the second half of the prayer. Repeat this process at least 10 times, trying to deepen and slow your breath with each cycle.
