Inhale Our Freedom, Exhale Our Fear

Virginia Cumberbatch reflects on God’s invitation for us to experience both individual and collective freedom in the midst of our fears [1 John 4:17-21].

Reflection

1. After a year of quarantine, how will you seek freedom and rest for yourself this spring?
2. As we witness the hate and injustice of the world, how will you support the liberation of others?
3. How will you allow God’s love to “fully form” in you this week?

Practice

1. How will you abide in God’s love to navigate you through the fog (fear) of our current conditions?  Inhale: God, meet me in this fear.  Exhale: Bring rest to my restless mind.
2. How will you allow God’s love for us to model and direct our pursuit of collective freedom and community justice?  Inhale: We were meant for freedom.  Exhale: I will not settle for less.
