Kaleidoscope

Many times our prayers unto God are in supplication, wanting, helping, assuaging, a please-help-me-get-through this, or a bless So-and-So; the list can be endless. It's self-centered and needful much of the time and can keep our vision out-of-focus just for the warring emotions mixing with opinion and desire. Even with a contrite and seeking spirit, we can often spend not nearly enough time basking in thankfulness for all the precious miracles and blessings we have. That alone can cloud direction and misrepresent condition.

I have learned with all of my heart, that when we take the time to sit within silence, allowing our emotions to dissipate in a complete release, that that is when the Spirit receives the invitation to abide within us, to work God's peace and bring truth into our lives. It is then that clarity clears the fog of where we are, who we are, the actuality of our thought processes and enables us to receive more of the things we ask so earnestly for.
