pause

I find it difficult to pray. First off, it's hard to concentrate and it's also challenging to stop the constant search for stimulation.

This is an instant world we are living in and I'm enveloped in it. I have had hours and months where I could have read some good books. I haven't.

I should mediate and pray more. I feel like I have been missing pause and reflection.

Mediation isn't a pursuit of answers, as much as it is a pursue of peace. It's a surrendering of your anxieties and your longing for control. It's a search for yourself as well. We believe lots of lies and are confused by longings for selfish endeavors – success, romance, fun—but what we need is community, relationship and contentment.
