I came across a verse in some material I inherited from a priest. He had written it out, as he was a graphic, bookmaking kind of person; this quote is from the Psalms. "Peace be within your walls, and security within your towers!” (NIV) I find this profound. If I think of my being as having walls, and the thoughts within it are my peace, or not. Anything I take up should feed these walls. Of course, at the core of peace is the Jesus Prayer. (Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.) Then I started saying Jesus in my walls, Holy Mother, (Mary) in my towers. Realizing yesterday that when I talk on the phone or engage with any technology, I lose the immediate now —my real life, my peace. Everything, and everyone around me, is physically relational and my immediate now. What is God saying to me right now? Have I invited Him in to interact with me? How much of the time do I go about whatever it is I have as a goal without a thought of what He wants of me?
