Look at the birds in the sky.

Matthew 6: 26

‍

Steps

‍

1

When you are out walking and something catches your attention, whether a leaf or a flower, the view ahead, or a creature such as a bee or a bird, stop still and pay attention to it for a minute or so.

‍

2

Use whatever senses the object invites you to use: seeing, listening, touching, smelling, even tasting.

You may even wish to stay for three minutes or longer.

‍

‍

3

Try to let go of thinking or putting into words whenever tempted, and instead simply ‘be’ and stay present to the object which is catching your attention.

‍

‍

‍

4

This object is a part of God’s creation. God loves it and delights in this relationship you have with it.

‍

‍

‍

5

After a time of doing this, feel free to speak to God in whatever way you feel moved to.

It might simply be the phrase ‘Thank you.’
