Steps
-
1Get up in the morning and take a few deep breaths. Think about the fact that your breathing happens without you doing anything. Your heart keeps beating without you telling it. Take a moment and be amazed.Ad -
2Take a minute for a version of a Japanese prayer before you eat. Think about the farmer that grew your food, the person that sold you the food, that prepared the food, the job that allows you to buy your food... and say "Thank You" for all of them. -
3Offer a word of comfort and solace, if you watch the news and see stories about a murder or tragedy. -
4Offer a word of protection and healing for those that were injured, when you are driving and come upon an accident. -
5Take a walk on a beautiful, sunshiny day, and just delight in the warmth on your skin. Notice the birds and trees and flowers and smile. God delights in your delight.Ad
Tips
- You get the idea: prayer and talking to God doesn't have to take time. It's about being conscious and grateful for all the gifts that you have been given. It's about noticing when someone else's spirit is sagging and needs encouragement. It's about being in the presence of a Spirit of graciousness and kindness and generosity all day long.
