A Clear Mind

God wants me to open myself up to him by clearning away the debris of anxieties, cares, to-do's. If I can clear a path through those - the wider the better - He will honor that effort and make his way in.

Previously I had thought that the worries themselves were some sort of conduit that God was using to speak to me. Perhaps he does use those things to teach me sometimes. But He doesn't need them - He wants to speak to me directly and more often than not all the junk of life threatens to drown Him out. Spirit to spirit communication is what He wants, albeit a great spirit to a much lesser one.

When I commune with God through prayer and meditation, a clear mind is best. I can then rest in Him and open myself to truly listen to Him.
