Starter Prayer: "God of Spirit and Truth, expand my mind, but even more, my heart, to receive your great and universal good news. I know that no change of heart happens without a change of mind, and no change of mind happens without a change of heart. Get me started in one place or another." (From Wondrous Encounters by Richard Rohr)
Well, there is a choice to be made today. You can stand in God's presence, hear what is being said, and you can walk away choosing to be just the same as you were yesterday. God will stay with you, but God will allow you to ignore what is good, great, and true.
Or you can consent. You can stop thinking about what to do and simply allow God to begin to stir up all that has settled into unquestioned or unexamined patterns of thought or feeling.
This prayer may make you forget what you are doing, just like the woman at the well forgot her jar. You may find yourself running around thinking and feeling with an openness and expansive love that simply cannot be contained.
Well? Yes. All is well!
