Great reflection on prayer and walking minute by minute with God. Living an integrated life where the separation between us and God is at a minimum. Having a wholehearted faith that goes beyond our minds Into our hearts and souls.
And then, in turn, is reflected outward toward others and upward towards God.
Walking the walk rather than just talking the talk. Becoming one with the Spirit. One with our Savior. One with our loving Creator.
Brother Lawrence’s book is one of my favorites. His teaching, along with Nouwen and a few others have shaped much of my writing work on experiencing God’s presence in everyday moments. Can’t wait to read your Part Two on this.
I respect Henri Nouwen's thoughts and appreciate his inclusion in your very fine and answer seeking message. Looking forward to your message re this next week hugs
So good, as usual. Confession: Living moment by moment with a sense of God's presence feels normative to me (Gal 5:25). But it's the proactive intercession on behalf of non-personal needs and opportunities that I struggle with. That seems to require a discipline that I've found harder to develop.

Thanks for the thoughtful reflection Jack. I was reminded of Psalm 1 when I read “I had to learn how to irrigate the rest of my life.” Blessings.

thanks for sharing this - it's a very interesting point that I relate strongly to. Gives me a thought to wrap into next week's post
