Go on a "Mini" Retreat Daily You don't need to take a week-long retreat or pray for hours in the chapel to grow closer to God. He reaches for us in the everyday hustle and bustle of life. This book offers a simple, yet profound guide that places you in God's loving presence throughout the day with brief touchpoints in the morning, during the day, and at night. My Day Begins—Meditation from Day 2 My people sang the songs of faith. Songs of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah, Moses, David, and Jesus. The songs of faith were passed on, taught, learned, and prayed in an environment of love and celebration. I did not realize I was receiving a religious education—that I was being taught prayer, salvation history, morals and values, faith, hope, love, and joy. I did not realize that the songs would form the basis of my lifelong religious education. I did not realize that the songs would bring to me and to those I love comfort in sorrow, solace in grief, refuge in time of trouble, relief even from physical pain—always strength and hope, peace and joy. Each spiritual is in its own way a prayer—of yearning or celebration, of praise, petition, or contemplation, a simple lifting of heart, mind, voice, and life to God. All Through the Day—Manta for Day 2 I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free. My Day Is Ending—Prayer from Day 2 Father, you have given us the gift of song to delight, to learn, to share, and to love. While I may not be able to have your Word in my hands at all times, I can hold your Word in my heart through song, I can sing when I am happy. I can sing when I am sad. I can sing when I need to feel close to you. Lord God, may I never fear to sing your praises. Amen.
