One of the things I have decided to do henceforth, is to find a religion that I will embrace. I’m a big fan of meditation and personal reflection. For the last month or so, I have made an effort to spend an hour each day in thoughtful introspection. I’ve found that practice to bring me inspiration, clarity and peace. While I don’t call this exercise prayer, I’m comfortable with those who frame this experience as a connection with something beyond themselves – be it God or some power - whatever's tickling your fancy. As long as your inner voice isn’t telling you to hurt yourself, or me, I’d recommend listening to it. That being said, when it comes to making requests of God, I find that I have avoided prayer, for the simple reason that I feel embarrassed every time that I try to pray – it does not come out well – whatever that is. I have never felt comfortable with it, I always felt that I'm not doing it right. I have heard people pray and always prayed silently that I could sound like them.
With all that said, yes I’m on my way to working on that part of my religion - not learning to pray but find my own way of praying.
I stumbled across this little prayer this morning and would like to share it with you - it speaks to me, it could have been my own words.
I hope in some way, you might also relate.
