“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field." -Mt. 13:44 (ESV)

Prayer

For this weeks spiritual disipline we practiced prayer, I personally chose to practive Contemplative prayer. Like my previous post stated, I have a tendancy to have more of a one sided conversation with God. This allowed me to rest in His presence. Every morning this week I set my alarm for about ten minutes earlier. I laid in my bed and focused on each part of my body.
Monday: I prayed for guidence to use my body to serve others.
Tuesday: Allow my senses to worship you, through what I see, hear, smell, feel, and taste.
Wednesday: Let others see a light in me, teach me how to show my love for you.
Thursday: I gave thanks to God for my body. For my transplanted kidney, for the inner organs that were once so damaged, are healthy again. For my hips, that for a long time were so very painful are now pain free.
Friday: I simply focused on the word Peace.
Saturday: I thanked God for a day of rest, it was my Saturday off, and I simply rested in His name.
Sunday: I went rhough each day and pondered how God showed me exactly what I prayed for. I recounted the many times I stopped throughout the day to just say thanks God, something I feel I lack on sometimes.

God is good.

Take opportunities to rest in the glory of God this week, He will welcome it.

Blessings
