Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? –1 Corinthians 3:16

I sit in quiet contemplation shutting out the noise and tumult of the outside world. Ever so slowly and with great struggle I shut down the chatter in my mind and begin to feel the presence of God with in. It is a time of giving up control, surrendering to God, and being receptive to his presence in my life.

This time of quiet and resting in God fosters a personal relationship with God and the living Christ. It moves beyond verbal communication and forms a special bond of communion with Him. I am open to His direction in my life.

As my prayer comes to a close, I return to the outside world. I find myself more centered trusting God’s presence in my life will surely guide me. I am at peace.

And let the peace of Christ dwell in you richly… –Colossians 3:15
