Stillness

This morning was the first morning since Feb 22nd that I was able to re-capture my space for prayer. Over the last couple of weeks prayer has been snatched between other demands, tired summaries to a long day or overly focused on the next thing I had to lead or people in enormous pain. It was freeing to come back to the still deep well of God’s presence and draw from God’s written word and reflect. It is only as I’ve missed these times that there importance has grown. Funny that most days my God-me space is just part of the day, almost as un-special and routine as eating breakfast; but then when I miss it for a few days I start to feel ragged, less centred, less aware of myself and others and have so much less to give. It was good this morning. how are your times of prayer, of being still, of meditation and spiritual reading going?
