Directions:

Close your eyes and clench your hands up tight.

Imagine all the pressures and worries and tensions you are carrying as you come to worship.

Then in your own time turn your hands, still gripping, over so that they are facing down.

Imagine God’s hands underneath yours and slowly open your hands so that the things you are carrying fall into God’s hands.
You may wish to repeat
this several times.

Then turn your hands face up, but this time with the palms open and ask God’s Spirit to fill you afresh.
