Being “not busy” is the most impossible thing to do. I’m constantly motivated to sit quietly for just five minutes (to start) but even that seems impossible.
My anxiety starts, my nerves race, and my mind goes crazy with ideas. It seems the more my body gets calm, the more my brain kicks into overdrive with ideas to pursue. Without music it seems impossible for me to have quiet downtime.
The closest I’ve come to meditation is prayer. I think I somehow tricked my brain into still being busy by having a conversation with God, but in the end it’s a win-win for the mind, body, and soul.
So, for all my believers out there, pray-meditate to guide your dreams to fruition.
Dear God,
Thank you for the blessings you’ve bestowed upon me.
Thank you for my family, my sources of income, food, shelter, clothes, and all the important essentials in my life.
I ask for your forgiveness for any sins or misdirection that may have led me from the righteous path.
I ask for your continued guidance and patience with me, for I am only human.
God, grant me the strength and health to see my dreams and goals come to fruition.
The days seem long, the years longer, without any major changes, but I know not to give up, for that life-changing door is only around the corner.
God, grant me the patience to continue pushing and thriving, and guide my thoughts.
Grant me the vision to remove negativity and people who mean to do me harm from my life.
Surround me with positivity and supporters.
I come to you humble, free, and open to your wisdom.
Give me the patience to deal with the unpleasantness life will throw at me.
I entrust that you know my goals of leaving behind a legacy, to make a difference, to build something my children and grandchildren can participate in and one day take over; I leave this in your hands.
I thank you for this life, for this day, for my talent and purpose.
Amen.
