Somewhere I read or heard that a Benedictine monastic was to daily strive to be more Christ-like realizing that it will never be accomplished in this life. Walk with God and deepening that relationship is a lifelong journey and I must learn to follow God’s lead and not outrun Him.
Over time I have learned to take moments when they come and sit with them.
I am the type of person who can be restless and lose focus even when I want to be involved in what I am doing. This makes contemplative prayer a challenge but it is so sweet when I can sit with God.
