My dog wakes me up at 3 a.m.
I, of course, am frustrated. This has been going on for a week, and I am racking my brain for a solution. As I’ve mentioned in an earlier blog posts, I am trying to seek God first before I try to solve problems on my own.
So I spend some time in prayer, centering down and trying to remain calm so I can get back to sleep. And I hope that perhaps a solution will reveal itself to me in time.
Then I wonder if I should just Google: my dog wakes me up at 3 a.m.
As I am wont to do when I have a problem, the first thing I do is I go to Google for the answers. Now there is nothing wrong with googling something. It is nice to have such a repository of knowledge readily available.
But I got to wondering: is Google now my go-to for answers rather than prayer?
That is indeed a good question.
And I guarantee it is one that Google does not have the answer to.

Fasting from light is a quiet Lenten practice that invites stillness and prayer. By turning off lights and stepping away from screens, distractions fade and space opens for God. 🕯️🌿
Sitting in darkness reminds us that Jesus is the Light of the World. Even a short time without light can bring calm, focus, and peace. This practice helps the heart slow down and turn toward Christ during Lent. ✝️

Visiting a cemetery is both reflective and hopeful 🌿. We remember loved ones, honor their memory, and pray for their souls 🙏. Each grave is a reminder that life is precious and every story matters.

This activity teaches patience and teamwork. Families and groups can enjoy creating together, building both community and faith 🌿. It is a hands-on way for children to see that prayer spaces should be special.

Discernment is the process of discovering God’s call 🌿. This prayer asks for vision to see His plan, strength to follow it, and patience to trust His timing 🙏. Discernment takes effort, but God is always near.
It is not just for ourselves. Once we hear God’s call, we are asked to help others recognize His presence too. Discernment shared becomes a gift that builds up the whole community ✨.

Silence in prayer can be discouraging 🌿. Teens may wonder if God hears them. This lesson plan gives them space to be honest and shows they are not alone. Even saints felt God’s silence.

Saint Teresa of Avila, a Spanish nun in the 1500s, gave her life to God 🌿. Once focused on social life, illness helped her choose a path of prayer and reform. She led the Carmelites to live simply and focus on God 🙏.
Her mystical experiences and writings, including The Interior Castle, remind us that prayer is the key to closeness with God. Declared a saint and Doctor of the Church, her wisdom inspires believers today ✨.

In our journey of life, the thoughts we nurture shape our path and who we become. Positive thoughts guide us toward the divine, while negative ones might lead us astray.
The Coffee Filter Prayer serves as a memorable metaphor. Just as a coffee filter lets through only what's essential, we can filter our thoughts. Let's retain what is pure, kind, and true, allowing the rest to drift away ☕💭.

What is the right way to pray for me?
I’m not sure there is one. Which may be why my #prayerlife feels inadequate. I may not like the status quo however I do like having at least some basic rules or guidelines for things. That way I know when I’m breaking them. I don’t really feel like I have any guidelines for #prayer
Being #Episcopalian I do like community prayer, the kind done during worship services. I also like the prayers included in the Daily Offices of Prayer for All Seasons & the St. Helena’s Breviary, which are the 2 prayer books I use mostly frequently (aside from the #BCP ) That said, I’m not convinced every prayer done in a group or in public needs to begin with “the Lord be with you” It feels to formal or something for extemporaneous prayer.
I’ve been told that prayer is like a conversation with God, in which case, I pray a lot, although I don’t always address God by name. Some might call it thinking but there is a difference #ContemplativeKnitting #Introduction

How were you taught to #pray ?
I don’t recall ever being taught HOW to pray. As a kid, I recall being taught #prayers (God is great, Now I lay me down to sleep, Hail Mary & the Lord’s Prayer, among others). By the time I became a teenager I was memorizing swathes of the #BCP including prayers. But being taught how to pray or even the parts of a prayer? Not so much.
I was taught to mediate (it was the 70’s & mom was into TM, so I have a mantra I basically repeated while walking around in a dim room since I wasn’t old enough to actually sit still). I found it similar to the contemplative prayer as taught by a Benedictine monk during a prayer workshop a few years ago. That’s as close as I’ve gotten, which probably explains why I feel my #prayerlife is lacking. My prayers come from memories or books because I lack the confidence to “just pray” outside of dire circumstances. It’s one of the attractions of doing #ContemplativeKnitting #Introduction

Today’s #TheDisciplesWay verse (Mark 14:35-38) is not one I like to think about. Not only do I try not to add energy to negative things, I hate the thought of anyone being alone in such emotional pain even though I, personally, do my best not to reveal my feelings in public. I was raised to have a stiff upper lip & made never letting them see they got to me to an art form. It never occurred to me that my stoicism would have a negative effect on my #prayerlife Avoiding these verses also means I was avoiding the lesson & wisdom they hold. As Rev. Chris Corbin points out in his reflection, Jesus’ prayer teaches that there is no request we need to hold back when praying so long as we frame it with “nevertheless, not what I will but what thou wilt”. It’s a terrifying proposition for me because, while I firmly believe God knows my heart, voicing my feelings in prayer means I have to know it as well. And it means I can’t keep turning away from unpleasantness. Instead I need to trust God.

The third week in #Lent is all about #Prayers according to #TheDisciplesWay Its going to be a challenging week for me. My #PrayerLife leaves much to be desired. Today’s verse (Luke 11:1-4) teaches us how to say the Lord’s Prayer (Our Father, who art in heaven…) This is probably the most widely recognized, known, & said prayers in all Christiandom. It is part of every #Episcopal service I have been part of from Daily Offices to Eucharists to funerals to weddings to ordinations to prayer services. It is also the prayer we spend the least amount of time thinking about once we have it memorized. Which is why I regularly lobby for teaching the congregation to say the prayer in languages other than English. The idea being that if we are praying in a language which is not native to someone, they will need to be more aware of & pay more attention to each word. It also acknowledges that English is not the only, or perhaps even the first language spoken by members of the congregation.

Charles Spurgeon, Baptist preacher, explains Ecclesiastes 11:3. A full cloud will soon share, and so ought one w/a full pocket. The rich are to look out for cases of necessity. Like a cloud designed to rain, you’re designed to empty yourself upon the earth.
Today, it’s more like the person will a full pocket is the best person to find waste in anything designed to help the needy. And empathy is bad.
How can you bring bright blessings?

Routines are useful things, although I’ve never thought of my daily reading of #ForwardDaybyDay as “marinating ourselves daily in the stories of our Savior’s life & ministry” as #TheDisciplesWay puts it today. Honestly, I’m not sure I think of it, or saying the hours, as #BibleStudy either. Bible study is what I do on Tuesdays at #EfM The rest is just…IDK what I think it is but it’s not Bible study. This week in #Lent is about #learning & the suggested approach is the #LectioDivina it’s interesting that, as I read the descriptions of the movements, I already do 2 — meditation & contemplation. I try to pray (oratio) though I don’t think I have a great #PrayerLife And Lectio, or reading aloud, you can forget. IDK if I don’t want people knowing that I am reading the Bible or if I just dislike the sound of my own voice. Either way, I don’t do it & perhaps I should. Maybe it’s time I change my perspective on Bible study. Maybe it’s time to change my #routine.
