When we are filled with God’s peace and love, we know everything will be okay.
And yet, during centering prayer, we even let go of God’s love and peace.
They are simply thoughts and feelings that block us from the full power and glory of God that shines upon us and within us in stillness and silence.
When we completely let go, we experience that we are utterly loved by God.
Our whole being is filled with God in Christ.
When God fills us, we experience what we need.
When I say what we need, I mean what God knows is best for us.
We feel and experience these things during our non-centering times of the day too.
For example, this book was a centering-prayer experience.
Everyday, I let go.
I let God fill and show me what He wanted me to place on the book’s pages.
