Whoever you are, wherever you are,
take a slow breath into your belly

:
and a gentle breath out
3
:
Let your body soften

:
Now imagine yourself beside the sea.
5
:
The surface is calm.
6
:
waves lap lightly against the shore.
7
:
The air is quiet
8
:
Then you hear his voice.

He says, " Whoever drinks the water
I give them will never thirst."
11
:
He offers you his living water, water
that restores, heals, and gives life
12
:
As you breathe, imagine his cool, clear
water flowing gently into your soul.
13
:
Let it wash over your mind.
14
:
Let it reach the hidden
places in your heart.
15
:
Jesus is the water in the desert,
16
:
the rain after drought,
17
:
the river that doesn't run dry.

:
Focus on his life-giving water

to hydrate with overflowing gratitude
