Five Step Prayer Exercise
Five Step Prayer Exercise
A five-step prayer exercise for my prayer or praise chorus. Steps performed while standing, and when comfortable with movements, with eyes shut.
- Uplift both arms and hands, with palms forward, in worship and praise to the Lord.
- Bring outstretched arms and hands to waist level, with palms up, to receive from God.
- Fold arms inward, bringing cupped hands together over your heart, to take God’s gift within oneself.
- Outstretched arms at waist level, with hands apart and palms up, to share God’s gift with others.
- Fold arms inward again, with hands folded in prayer, against your chest, in appreciation for God’s gift to self and others!
- Repeat sequence as often as desired.
