Today's Prayer
Third Practice
The final mantra in this short series is one you can create for yourself.
Perhaps there’s a word in scripture that means a lot to you, or a line from a poem. Or there may be a word or phrase that you’ve encountered in your Bible reading today. Or you could be really adventurous and use a mantra with no words at all! In this case you use the gentle rhythm of your own breathing to quieten the mind. If you think about it, a spoken word is only breath provided
with a vibration anyway, one which we attach meaning to.
Either way, create a mantra that helps you gather and quieten the meanderings (or storminess!) of your mind - those mostly useless and repetitive thoughts - laying them down before God.
Mantra is a wonderful tool to bring clarity and peace, realising the presence of God who has never left us but who we lose sight of in the fog and noise of everyday life.
Here is a mantra I created for my own prayer life - I share it with you today in the hope it might inspire you to create your own.
Love is, just this.
