Here is the Guided Meditation that was read in last Sunday's 10:45 Worship Service:
Make sure you are comfortable… close your eyes… and quietly attend to your breathing…
…allow your thoughts to settle and begin to focus inward…
…now imagine yourself in the batters box at a major league baseball game… the bases are loaded and it’s the final inning… everything depends on you… how do you feel? … Are you nervous? … Do you feel adequate? … Sit with those feelings for a moment … Suddenly you feel an extra, mysterious set of hands take the bat with you … It is no longer just YOU that is up to bat … God’s spirit is in you, empowering you …
…here comes the pitch … a power is in you that you did not know you were capable of… the bat connects with the ball… it flies up, up, up… it’s a home run! The crowd goes wild…
Take a moment to reflect and pray that, in the same way, God would empower you to do his work in the church and in the world. He has called each of us to be in ministry, but has not called us to do it by our own power. Take a few moments of silence to invite God to be your strength as you live out what you are meant to do and who you are meant to become.
