As we finish our fall vision series exploring Contemplation, Gena Minnix reflects on what our bodies need in order to enter into a contemplative space [Matthew 26:39-42].

Reflection

• What do I need to know before I can consent to God’s healing action and grace within?
• Where and when can I include contemplation as part of my daily routine?

Spiritual Practice

• The Welcoming Prayer.  Welcome, welcome welcome. I welcome everything that comes to me today because I know it’s for my healing. I welcome all thoughts, emotions, feelings, persons, situations, and conditions. I let go of my desire for security. I let go of my desire for approval. I let go of my desire for control. I let go of my desire to change any situation, condition, person, or myself. I open to the love and presence of God, and the healing action of grace within.
