I
was asked today how I pray. Do I kneel; have
a special spot in our home or a certain time that I set aside? I answered “no” to each of these scenarios. Not that they never happen, they just aren't a part of my regular practice. I continued
by explaining that I feel like I am in the presence of God all the time and
that I am in relationship always, so though I sometimes have petitions, I often
pray what I am feeling as I am living.
There are enough situations each day that can lead me to prayer, sending
me, figuratively, to my knees, but most of the time I just want to seek God in
life, and if I enter into each day, open to that expectation, I live my life in
nearly constant prayer. In other words,
life is a prayer.
Dear God, you have
given me a unique understanding of my relationship with you. I have learned to trust this relationship as
one that is ever present. I can be my authentic
self and know that you will always be with me and accept each of the facets of
my personality. I am incredibly
thankful. Amen.
