If life has taught me anything, it has taught me that the journey is always "to be continued". It has been one year since I returned from my first week at the monastery and I still struggle with a daily disciplined prayer life. It's so easy until I get busy. The busier I am, the more I need prayer. The more I need prayer, the less I find time to pray because I'm "too busy."
Knowing what I need with my "head" is not enough, I must quest with my "heart." So I return today to Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God." And I return to the first part of the prayer equation. BE STILL!
In a little over an hour I begin coaching youth, first Middle School, then High School Youth on taking a prayer pilgrimage. I will be honest with them. I will tell them that I have difficulty with it, but I will be able to encourage them because a pilgrimage is a continuing journey.
So, over the river and through the hills, I go. Until I find a rest area along the side of the road, and then for a few minutes I remember..."BE STILL!"
hAVE A bLEST dAY!
