Stilling: Come into the presence of God and still yourself
Grace: To draw fruit by returning to the significant movement in the prayer of this week
Prayer Suggestion: Looking back at your journal be aware of how prayer and the events of life have mutually influenced each other.
Notice how God has spoken to you about love and compassion.
Pray again with the material that has been most meaningful for you this week and let it deepen.
Pick up again any conversations with God that feel unfinished. Let your heart speak.
Notice any resistance, was there anything in the material you actively disliked or pushed away.
Resistance might seem like a negative, but generally “Whenever there is resistance, there also is God.”
In other words, we don’t resist unless there is something to resist; God’s action is always there inside the resistance.
So if we notice it, it is helpful to be patient and to trust that God is still at work.
The Lord is Compassion and Love
