Sacred Rhythms
F.L.O.W. - A Simple Daily Rhythm
FLOW is a simple daily rhythm built around four gentle movements of spiritual attentiveness: Focus, Listen, Observe, and Worship. Through Scripture, prayer, reflection, and worship, FLOW creates space to slow down, become more aware of God’s presence, and carry that attentiveness throughout the day. Designed as a quiet and accessible starting point, FLOW helps believers begin developing meaningful daily rhythms without becoming overwhelmed.
Start your Simple Daily Rhythm (F.L.O.W.) by reading aloud the opening sentence of Scripture
I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.” Psalm 122:1
Say Psalm 95
1 Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.
3 For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5 The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;
7 for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.
Say the Gloria Patri
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Say this General Thanksgiving
Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we Your unworthy servants give You humble and hearty thanks for all Your goodness and loving kindness to us, and to all people. We bless You for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for Your boundless love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, for the means of grace, and the hope of glory. Give us, we pray, such a sense of all Your mercies that with truly thankful hearts we may declare Your praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up ourselves to Your service, by walking before You in holiness and righteousness all our days, and in living by trying to do the next right thing; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with You and the Holy Spirit, be all honor and glory, for ever and ever. AMEN.
Sing the Doxology
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. AMEN.
Carry these moments of attentiveness with you throughout the rest of the day.
