Whether it's been on purpose or not, I have found myself in this type of prayer quite often lately. (I do think the cooler "fall" weather has something to do with it because I've been able to spend more time outside without dripping with sweat.) I don't actively think of anything (which is actually harder done than said), but, instead, I simply experience the moment - the sunshine, the breeze, the smiles on people's faces...
It's so peaceful.
And I know God is there.
Some of my students have said that contemplation is their favorite type of prayer that they've learned in class because they get to just rest and sit in silence/peace.
In the midst of their busy days, who can blame them?
In the midst of our busy days, maybe we could give it a try...
"Be still and know that I am God." (Ps. 46:10)
