Praying Without Ceasing

Have you ever experienced a deep longing to want to give every waking moment of a day to God?

With such a longing, I recently completed an all-day Attunement Sanctuary Vigil sharing ten attunement sessions. To me, there’s nothing quite as fulfilling as deepening and magnifying the attunement current in an all-day vigil, then falling asleep that night with the rare satisfaction of knowing that every ounce of my strength was given to God that day.

But what about the days in between vigils?

Could every moment of an ordinary day also be imbued with similar magnitudes of prayerful intention?

Lloyd Arthur Meeker beautifully encapsulates this idea when he describes prayer as dwelling under the shadow of the Almighty, abiding in the Shekinah of the divine presence.

Living in this state of constant communion with the divine transforms prayer from a discrete activity into a way of being. It means carrying the awareness of the divine presence with us in every moment, infusing our daily lives with spiritual significance. Whether we are engaged in mundane tasks or profound endeavors, our hearts remain open to the guiding light of the Most High.

Such a prayer is not solely a passive endeavor confined to moments of solitude; it is also a catalyst for action and transformation in the world. From the secret place of the Most High emerges the inspiration and guidance needed to navigate life’s challenges and contribute to the greater good. It is here that we learn to channel divine energy into practical expressions of love, compassion, and service to humanity.

In surrender, faith, and devotion, may every moment be dedicated to the Source within and the interconnectedness with all of creation. May we dwell in the secret place of the Most High while naturally allowing our daily lives to become an ever-unfolding manifestation of prayerfulness.
