Releasing Yourself to God’s Love
Primary Journey: Set free from security in self & things to security in God & his love.
Primary Medium: Silence
Primary Areas: Prayer, Meditation, Sacrifice, Creative Expression
| Prayer
For many of us, prayer is a discipline in keeping still, silent, and talking with God. Meaningful prayer often turns into a two-way conversation. The true discipline surrounding prayer is carving out the time and staying focused. |

Meditation
Prayer involves talking with God, but meditation is prayer without words. Being alone can be easy when you have something to do, but finding a quiet place to be alone and waiting for God is a very tough exercise. Practicing this discipline allows God’s Spirit to speak directly to your spirit, without words. |
| Sacrifice
There are many ways to practice sacrifice. We can fast, not just from food but from activities; fasting creates a space and time for you to experience God. Striving for simplicity is another way to sacrifice. Experiment with what you truly need: do you need cable, more than 1 TV, a big house, a perfectly manicured lawn? |

Creative Expression
We tend to think that only artists or talented people can be creative. But God is the Creator of this whole universe, and we are made in God’s image. Find ways to express your own creativity: don’t limit yourself to art, music, or writing. Think about cooking, gardening, even composing professional emails and memos. Find your creative side and indulge it. |
