A spiritual exercise  

God is like the air we breathe—all around us, invisible, and vital to our health and happiness. Just as we need to breathe clean, fresh air to be strong and healthy physically, we need to partake of God’s Spirit to be strong and healthy spiritually. Under normal circumstances, breathing is an unconscious, involuntary act. God would like our relationship with Him to be that natural, and He created us with all the necessary equipment. But unlike breathing, for most of us, making that connection with God doesn’t come so easily; it requires a conscious effort on our part. Actually, it’s easier than it seems, and with a little practice it becomes even easier. Try this:

Go outside, preferably to a natural setting. Take long, deep breaths. Imagine that you are inhaling God’s energy, light, love, and peace. Then exhale slowly and imagine that you are expelling stress, worries, negative feelings, or whatever may be troubling you. Look around at God’s creation‚ and continue to breathe deeply as you think about His infinite love and care. Turn your worries and concerns over to Him, and thank Him in advance for working everything out.

A few minutes of that and you will feel rejuvenated.
