On workdays, my first centering-prayer sit is at 5:45 a.m.
I always feel some anxiety after I wake.
Then I retreat to the basement, light a candle, and sit on a couch.
It wakes me up. The anxiety fades.
It fills me with interior peace and energizes me for the day.
I use the Contemplative Outreach phone app. The timer is set for twenty minutes.
I read the opening prayer.
I have selected, “Open my heart to Your love.”
That is all I want to do.
I want to forget me and open my heart to God’s love.
