Why do you sometimes struggle to do what you believe is true? Why is there incongruence between

your convictions and your consistency in following your convictions? This question matters because you

will never experience a sense of peace or wholeness if there is incongruence within yourself.

Contemplative prayer and meditation can help. This kind of prayer can help to close the gap between

your inner and outer lives. While “mindfulness” and “meditation” are popular ideas right now, Christian

meditation offers a deep and rich resource. It offers an experience of the presence of God to ground in

the ultimate reality of his love and purpose for you. It presses the truth of God into your heart and soul.
