A digital oratory · open always
A quiet place
for the soul.
Step away from the noise. Breathe, pray, and rest for a moment in the presence of God.
Before you continue
Peace be with you.
If you can, silence your phone and take one slow breath before you begin.
Today's pause
Be still, and know.
Take three minutes for Scripture, a slow breath, and prayer.
“Be still, and know that I am God.”Psalm 46:10 · KJV, public domain
Take one slow breath.
Inhale for four. Hold for four. Exhale for six. Repeat gently.
