Cultivating a Contemplative Lifestyle and Introducing Breath Prayer

Embrace challenges with the knowledge that expressing your burdens before the gaze of God's love leads to their dissipation. To pray contemplatively, adopt a contemplative lifestyle. Your state outside of prayer mirrors your state within it. Discipleship involves slowing down, living in a contemplative and prayerful manner, noticing God's beauty. Commence your daily prayer with silence and a breath prayer, focusing on God through attentiveness to your breath and a prayer word. This simple prayer aids in grounding you, reconnecting you with God within. Remember that prayer is a channel for experiencing God's love and must be a daily practice, irrespective of life's chaos. Be earnest in creating space for God to work within you, navigating life's highs and lows. Transform challenges by recognizing personal struggles and embracing the journey towards understanding and compassion, even amidst difficult circumstances.
