Pray: Book of Common Prayer (2019), Collect for Fifth Sunday of Epiphany

O Lord, our heavenly Father, keep your household the Church continually in your true religion, that we who trust in the hope of your heavenly grace may always be defended by your mighty power; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.

Do: Be still and breathe. 

Set your time for 5 minutes and sit in quiet - no music, no words, no language. 

Don’t be discouraged when distracting thoughts interrupt; consider repeating the words of the Psalmist, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living." Take a few deep breaths and repeat as necessary. 

Try this as many days this week as you are able.
