Hi, this is Whitney and you're listening to Exploring Peace Meditations. I'd like to invite you to find a posture in which you can soak in God's light today. That might be a seated posture with a tall spine. That might be a reclined posture that you can stretch out nice and long. Just make sure that you're in a place where you can find some quiet and your body can feel open, receptive and ready to meet God.

We'll start with a prayer. I'll read a prayer, I'll read a passage and then I'll invite you to open yourself up to God's light today. Creator God, thank you for this body, thank you for all it does, thank you for the days it carries me through, thank you for the tasks it carries me through, thank you for the tasks it allows me to accomplish. Thank you for the good it lets me do. Now. Take a full breath in and a long breath out. Isaiah 40, 31 in the NIV version says this those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint. Take a moment to check in with yourself and this body of yours. Do you need your strength renewed today by God. Are there parts of your life that feel heavy or tired or hard Parts of your body? Just take a moment and, for the next few breaths, open yourself up to God's healing energy. Take a full breath in and a long breath out. Repeat that a few times and, as you do, see yourself standing in a beautiful field. The sky is bright, the temperature is perfect, god's sun is shining upon you. The light comes from the heavens. As you visualize it and see it now, imagine that sunshine filling you, filling your whole body with warmth, with energy, with vitality, with strength. If it feels good and right, you can take your hands and place them upon any part of your body that might need a little extra healing touch today. Maybe it's a physical pain that you'd like to place your hands upon. Maybe it's a part of your spirit, your heart, your mind that you'd welcome God's healing touch upon. Take your hands, lay them upon your body. Continue visualizing God's light shining upon you, filling you with each breath.

In the next few moments of quiet, as you inhale and exhale, imagine yourself receiving God's light and sharing God's light, receiving on the inhale, filling yourself up with energy, and, on the exhale, sharing that energy with the world the goodness that God offers you now in the quiet. Breathe it in and breathe it out. Thank you, allow your hands to rest by your side or open your palms in a receptive and open posture, assembling to God that you are here to receive, to welcome this energy, this light, this love. But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint.

Creator, god, thank you for renewing our strength today, for filling us with light, energy and your love. May we carry forth the imagery of receiving your light when we feel low in our batteries, when we feel drained or tired. Bring this imagery back to life. Remind us that you renew us, you strengthen us, you help us soar, run and walk. Thank you, god. In your holy name we pray Amen. Take as long as you need in the posture you're in. If you'd like to sit with this imagery for a while longer, do it Sit. Be Welcome God's love light. If it's time for you to transition back into your day, carry this renewed sense of energy with you. Thank you for exploring the gift of God's peace with me. Thank you for exploring the gift of God's peace with me.
