Meditation – April 29, 2009
Posted on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009
Scripture: Search me. O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Psalm 139:23
Prayer: Let me know your presence in the stillness.
Response: Isn’t it extraordinary for you that in the absolute stillness of this early morning, before the sun has even hinted a presence, that I am closer than a companion who in the past might have surprised you with a cup of coffee? You don’t have to look up; I am everywhere you look, even when you close your eyes. I give you the discrimination to distinguish aloneness in my presence from loneliness. For this moment, there is no clamor of the soul.
I do know the stirring of your heart. I am the calm and stillness that descends over you when you no longer can distinguish who is observing and who is observed. I am your recognition that you lack nothing. No need to travel afar for a quiet place of prayer and contemplation. That place is here, that time is now.
In this special moment, your anxious thoughts evaporate like a morning fog, or dead growth pruned from an otherwise healthy plant. Most especially in time you come to realize your dawning consciousness is related most intimately to you accepting and acknowledging that I know your heart, especially those anxious thoughts that seek to disturb your harmony.
All for this morning.
