Blessings

I recently began, well, re-began the practice of centering prayer. Twenty minutes a day to be still and breathe in the breath of God.

"Be still , and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10

It is easy for me to pray and to know God when I am filled with joy. My heat soars. It is during those "other times" that my prayer is with such a heavy heart. I know God is with me in my sadness too, yet it is hard to find the words to pray. God knows what is on my heart when I do not have the words.

Finding my way back to centering prayer has opened my heart to receive the love that God has for me. He fills me, with peace, embraces me and upholds me to feel His love and blessings . It is in this time of prayer that I sense the indwelling essence of spirit. I am humbled before its mystery.

When our soul becomes quiet, we are blessed with moments of grace. I continue to learn that there is a blessing in everything. When I got in my car today this was the song that was playing on the radio. It echoed in my heart all day. The message was clear to me....There are blessings in everything even though at times we can't see beyond our pain.
