This is all right, but I think Brother Lawrence’s idea was better: “ have abandoned all particular forms of devotion, all prayer techniques. My only prayer practice is attention. I carry on a habitual, silent, and secret conversation with God that fills me with overwhelming joy.”
Practice the Presence.

Hi C.A. Thanks for your thoughts! My mind races a lot, especially when there’s over activity and I’m peopled out (I’m an introvert. ) This format quieted me down and that was just what I needed. Praise God! ❤
I especially liked the part about fasting. Anita is helping remind me to weekly fast from 5pm Thursday to 5 pm Friday. The time set aside for meals is used for meditation and prayer and I am finding it very rewarding so far. This is truly helping me develop a sense of the Presence all day long even Friday night after the fast to the next Thursday.
❤️&🙏, c.a.
That’s so good! I find the same. Personally, nothing seems to bring me closer to God. It’s like fasting cuts out all distractions. Happy Easter to you and Anita CA! ❤❤❤
Thank you Tonya!
