A Psalm of Divine Unfolding

When we are tired from an exhausting schedule, it is tempting to grab the low hanging fruit of distraction instead of demanding more from idle moments. The wisdom in Psalm 92 calls us to be rooted in an extended state of gratitude and reflection; allowing both our productive and passive moments to align with our highest intentions of spending our time in such a way that energizes our soul and connects to what matters most. It calls us to evaluate our time not by what you can get accomplished, but how your accomplishing, striving, and doing resonates with the potential of moments to align ourselves with joy, fulfillment, and restful contentment.

A Practical Practice of Gratitude

Gratitude has a transformative and refining quality. It reframes moments, memory, experiences, and mindsets by cutting through to what matters most in life. Through a spirit of gratitude, we are forced to recognize the gravitational pull of God’s love and locate the evidence of how that love reveals itself in your life. Gratitude, then, is a practice of both being aware of the divine in your own life and allowing yourself to be transformed by it constantly.

Beatitudes

The Beatitudes in Matthew 5 reveal how backwards the goals of the Kingdom are from the world in which we inhabit. In this post I offer an exercise of using the litany structure of the Beatitudes to create a prayer for personal or communal use.

We are created by Love, in Love, through Love, and for the sake of love. Our essence is good, beautiful, and holy because at our core we embody Divine Presence.
