Living Out of the Center

Today’s Reflection

Our prayer gives consent to the presence and interior work of the Spirit. We are unaware of this work in the periods of Centering Prayer, but its effects become evident in the rest of life.

—J. David Muyskens, Forty Days to a Closer Walk with God: The Practice of Centering Prayer(Upper Room Books, 2006)
