"Centering Prayer is a prayer practice that provides a time and space to come into the presence of God and just 'be.'
Although the power and presence of God is all around, it has helped me connect and understand the idea of having a
personal relationship with Jesus. It's a time to be present to God in silence and "abide with Him" as it says in John 15:4.
Centering Prayer is a way to rest in God. It calms my mind and soothes my soul and the best thing is - you can't do it wrong.
You just show up and God does the rest." - Marla
