Movin’ and prayin’ can be a wonderful way to experience God. One nice example is this Quaker Prayer:
{Put your PALMS UP – arms stretched out in front of you}
God, you have given my life into my hands. I give it back to you. My time, my property, my life itself…knowing it is only an instant compared to my life with you in eternity.
{Move to PALMS DOWN – arms stretched out in front of you}
Parent God, to you I release the cares and concerns of this world, knowing you loved us enough to send your child who shared loving words and actions. I’m a sinner in need of a God-inspired example and, once again, I accept what you have done for me as sufficient.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
ACTION: Did the movements enhance your prayer? If so, maybe you’ll want to try another of these “movin’ and prayin’ ” prayers today or in the days ahead?
Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
