Feelings are unreliable, changeable, not good for judging much of anything in our lives as far as decisions might go. Julian tells us to pray even when we don’t feel like it, when we feel great or when we feel dry, as if prayer is drinking water or eating food or getting sleep. Have you thought of prayer that way?
This is inspired by the forty-first chapter of Julian of Norwich's long text, Revelations of Divine Love.
If you’d like to talk more about what prayer and meditation might mean in your life, how to incorporate them, and what they might look like on a regular basis, I’d love to talk more with you. You can always contact me through social media or my website, and as a spiritual director, it’s absolutely my jam to have these kinds of conversations with people who are curious. Let me know, I’m here to wonder with you.
