A few people asked what this looks like.
To save me re-inventing the wheel go here
to see Darren’s take on it.
Or pick up Sacred Companions by David Benner. This is a brilliant book on personal spirituality.
Essentially for me what it means is something like this:
– 10 mins centring prayer – very difficult
– 10 mins reflection on God’s presence in the day just gone
– confession
– a short passage of scripture to meditate on
– maybe journal on it
– 20 or so mins of intercessory prayer
Often I will use Sacred Space as a guide.
The essence of it is the fact that when I slow down and stop to be with God I realise that I am not keeping the world going – a helpful reminder of my place in the scheme of things…
