Whatever you have to do to relax and balance your entire being (body, soul, and spirit). Read these verses slowly. With eyes closed, picture any imagery used by the writers in each text. Reflect on the statements made. Contemplate their context. Contemplate what these verses meant to the original readers. Then contemplate their implications and how they might apply to you. Contemplate how they might help you be conformed into the image and likeness of Christ. Welcome to contemplative prayer.
