I cannot imagine a sadder way to die than with the sense that I never showed up here on earth as my God-given self.
-Parker Palmer
Centering Prayer is vital to this process for me.
I start each day with a silent sit.
I cannot imagine a better start to each day than a silent sit.
This is non-negotiable.
During this time, I connect to my God-given self.
I then get up and partner with God as I move through the day.
I act from my true self: the person God wishes me to be.
In the early afternoon, my interior reserves begin to run low.
I take a second silent sit with God.
Again, this sit is non-negotiable.
I need these sits.
I reconnect to my God-given self.
I sit with God because I love and trust God.
I let God pray in me my true self actions.
Do you live from your God-given self?
