My centering prayer consent to God’s presence and action in me is my return to my desire to feel God’s love in the moment, not only in prayer moments; all moments outside prayer are included. The energy I sense in my body of God’s love brings clarity to my thoughts, peace (deep stillness) in my abdomen and joy in my heart. These moments of prayer help me cope with many moments when others require my full attention. Like Brother Lawrence, I give myself fully to the duty at hand and return to the practice of the presence of God when completed. Returning to God’s love in the moment keeps me whole. <3 linda
