I’ve been practicing the Jesus Prayer for at least eight years, so it’s become quite automatic. Throughout the day I notice myself saying/thinking: Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me a sinner. I hardly ever say the sinner part and yet, in spite of that, recently I have sensed that the prayer is feeding me negativity. Don’t get me wrong. I am a sinner and Ido need mercy, but that’s doesn’t define who I am or what God is calling me to be or do. What I need is Jesus in my life so I can shed his light as I pray for others and on me. That is what God is telling me.
Consequently, in the past few days, as I’ve shifted to Maranatha, Come, Jesus, Come, and this morning I have chosen not to listen to or read the news today. Immediately the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual light is brighter.
