Need short prayer help?
I invite you to take a spiritual journey with me and meditate on one line of prayer a day.
A good tool is the long version of the Serenity Prayer. The second part of the long version of the Serenity Prayer breaks down to 10 lines for 10 easy, but effective days of prayer.
Line 1, Day 1 begins:
“Living one day at a time.”
Is this an overwhelming thought? For those living with personal loss and crisis, getting out of bed can be a victory. Break down a 24-hour day into minutes; minutes into seconds. Can you live a second at a time? Can you wrap your head around one second? In other words, living in the now? Being mindful?
Here’s an example of the one-second-at-a-time lifestyle.
Bing! Bing! (alarm rings!)
- Action: You switch the alarm off. Self-talk: I am now turning off the alarm.
- Action: Feet hit bedroom floor. Self-talk: I am now getting out of bed.
- Action: Head to bathroom. Self-talk: I am now on route to the bathroom.
Easy, huh?
- Action: I am reading my computer screen.
- Self-talk: I am now reading a terrific blog called, WTF (Where’s the faith?). It is a post about prayer, and I think it might just help me change my life for the better.
Stay tuned!…until next time…walk by faith not by sight!
