¹Happy are those
who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
or take the path that sinners tread,
or sit in the seat of scoffers;
²but their delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law they meditate day and night.
³They are like trees
planted by streams of water,
which yield their fruit in its season,
and their leaves do not wither.
In all that they do, they prosper.
⁴The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
⁵Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
⁶for the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.

• Light a candle to remember Christ’s presence with you.
• Sit five to fifteen minutes in silent meditation paying close attention to the deep breath.
• As you pay attention to the breath, plant your feet on the ground and settle into your sit bones.
• Feel roots begin to grow from your feet into the ground…roots seeking water.
• Imagine the rich, moist soil by the water for which your roots are thirsting.
• Feel your roots meet the water.
• Allow the water to soak into you.  Notice which parched parts of you find relief from the water.
