When I sit with God in silence, do I really take my whole self or do I take the part that's been on its best behavior? I mean, do I say I'm going to pray, meditate on God and God's blessings only to find that I'm thinking about what someone did to me, or the various things I need to get done?
Meditation worthy of God demands that I give God my full attention; Focus on God and what God is currently doing in me.
I keep thinking about my 40-Day Lenten Sacrifice to be a better Christian. What will that be?
A Look Inside My Search
In a search for answers to the woes in my life, I found God. The truth that lies in knowing God for myself, placed me on a quest for peace. While on this journey, I have discovered that there are others seeking this truth also and that I can help. I have a Doctor of Ministry degree from Catholic Theological Union, not to rise above anyone, but to better serve everyone. I am on a journey towards peace, speaking truth that opens people up to God.
Ah, yes, "distractions" during meditation and prayer time! Maybe it's because I'm older now, but they don't bother me so much. I take them as indications of what I should be meditating about or praying over, rather than trying to stick to some prayer plan. So far, so good, it seems.
