Sacred Space 2012 (ePub)

We invite you to make a sacred space in your day and spend ten minutes praying here and now, wherever you are, with the help of a prayer guide and scripture chosen specially for each day. Every place is a sacred space so you may wish to have this book in your desk at work or available to be picked up and read at any time of the day, whilst travelling or on your bedside table, a park bench... Remember that God is everywhere, all around us, constantly reaching out to us, even in the most unlikely situations. When we know this, and with a bit of practice, we can pray anywhere. The following pages will guide you through a session of prayer stages: - Something to think and pray about each day this week - The presence of God - Freedom - Consciousness - The Word (leads you to the daily scripture and provides help with the text) - Conversation - Conclusion It is most important to come back to these pages each day of the week as they are an integral part of each day's prayer and lead to the scripture and inspiration points. Although written in the first person the prayers are for "doing" rather than for reading out. Each stage is a kind of exercise or mediation aimed at helping you to get in touch with god and God's presence in your life. We hope that you will join the many people around the world praying with us in our sacred space.
