Let God Be God

Centering Prayer teaches us to let God be God.

For that matter any contemplative practice will do that.

Find the one that works best for you.

Try to practice it daily.

Dig deep in this well.

See where it takes you.

Rather than define God or think we have him, or her or spirit figured out, it is so much nicer to just sit with God.

Be with God.

Open to God.

Let God hold you.

Love you.

Transform you.

Let God be God.

Writing as a Spiritual Practice: Focusing on God’s Purpose for Your Life – People who are drawn to writing as a spiritual practice range from beginning writers to experienced ones. The amount of writing you’ve done is not relevant. What matters is your willingness to commit to the journey, to travel from the known to the unknown, the conscious to the subconscious, from the polished to the raw.

How to Write a Devotional: Plus How to Get Them Published – If you read devotionals, you already know how they can be a true blessing. A devotional can uplift you when you’re feeling discouraged, sad or lonely. It can allow you to feel a keen sense of fellowship with another Christian, even if the two of you never actually meet. And, if you are feeling called to write devotionals, know that you have a unique opportunity to bless others and make a genuine difference in their lives. This course takes you step by step through the process, and then guides you towards publishing, if that is your goal.
