Solitude: Prayer Lifts The Spirit

Meditation lights up your heart, and liberates you from all desire for evil. In meditation you may discuss your tribulations with God; you may excuse yourself for your misdeeds and implore the Lord to grant you your desire to approach nearer to God. Devote some time each day to commune with the Lord in solitude; converse with Him. If you cannot concentrate, continue to express your thoughts in words. Words are like water which fall upon a rock until it breaks; words will break through your flinty heart. Words are the shell, meditation the kernel. Words are the body of prayer; meditation, its spirit.
