trust & prayer
The following are some exercises to help you put into use some of the suggestions from our December 12 post, trust & prayer:
1. For 3 days, begin your day with 15 minutes of sitting silently in the presence of God. Do the days go better for you?
2. Can you think of times in your life when God did not give you what you asked for, but gave you what God wanted for you then?
3. It has been said that "music lifts the soul." Do you have any special interest (art, music, writing, activity) that lifts your soul? Have you ever thought of this activity as prayer? Resolve to spend at least 2 hours each week pursuing whatever special activity lifts your soul.
4. Contemplation can lead you to action. And, at times, action can lead you to contemplation. Consider this.
