I try to nurture an inner dialogue all day. An ongoing conversation with myself and God. Yes, a conversation with myself and a conversation with God.
I check on myself, check to see my mood, my reactions to things, mistakes and triumphs. In a word, I supervise myself.
This does not result in pit downs or low self-esteem. I’m checking myself against my faulty inner compass.
Then I have to calibrate the compass.
That is where the dialogue with God comes it. That perspective is always “True North” and always points me to where my thoughts and decisions should go. I guess this is prayer.
This prayer, however, is decidedly informal. I conversation, a nudge in the right direction, or even a scream in my ear. For all it’s silence, those are deafening!
The effect of connecting with God is immediate. My mood lifts. I feel “at home” and safe. That I’m on the right track. Such a gift this is, and accessible immediately at all times of the day and in all places.
I’m grateful for this.
