Water Calms the Soul
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters.
Psalm 23:2
Let Worries Flow Away
Close your eyes and imagine water. Cool. Flowing. Endless.
Let it take shape in your mind. Hold it. What do you see?
The water that runs out of a faucet? Or the water that gently falls as raindrops on a spring day? Or the pelting rain against a wind-chilled face? Or the water that bubbles around rocks in a brook?
A Love Song
Shhh.
Take a listen.
Hear the water flow, or drop, or gush. It seems to sing, doesn’t it?
A love song only to you.
Water.
It glistens.
It flows.
It’s almost invisible.
Yet, it is so beautiful when it is crystal clear.
As the song soothes your soul, cast your worries into the water, where they will wash away.
Action
Find a body of water (even a fountain or bath) and spend five minutes observing or listening to it.
Reflective Question
What anxieties can I release and let flow away today?
