4R’s Prayer*

This spiritual exercise helps you to slow down, silence the internal noise and make space in your day for an encounter with God. It is a simple centering prayer that helps you to focus on Jesus. It assists you to discern God’s presence and movement in your heart and experience rest for your soul. You can use this prayer whenever you want to refocus your attention on the presence of God.

The prayer moves through 4 areas of focus:

·       Releasing your concerns into God’s care

·       Resting in God’s presence

·       Receiving God’s love

·       Responding to the Lord
