PRACTICING THE PRESENCE, pt 2: You Are Not the Only One Troubled by Wandering Thoughts

When a spiritual friend wrote to Brother Lawrence about her struggle with prayer and meditation because her mind was distracted, he replied that she wasn't saying anything new. It’s a common enough challenge and, in our day and age, even more so. We are generally more distracted than recollected, and we pay a price for that. The cost is in our joy, our joy in living. Yet this joy is always there for us to reclaim whenever we intentionally engage our will. Learn the way of recollection.
