7 Minute Meditation: Ever sensed your heart is stuck? Asked how you feel, you find that you are either not truthful or disconnected? Take the next 7 minutes and write every thought you have. Let me show you: “Grateful, tired, concerned, fearful, content, excited, love my family….” Do this for 7 minutes. Then, reflect on what you wrote. This is who you are right now. Alexithymia is the inability to put what is inside of you into words. A means not, lexi comes from the word for “word”, thymia is the Greek word for feeling, the inability to put words to feelings and passion. This is what many believers go through. They cannot connect the truth of who they are to their faith story. Take a few minutes, reflect, pray through it. Your heart will begin to unstick, you will connect once again. Now pray your meditation and connect with the Lord. Watch what happens within you.

Set my timer 7 minutes (that is a long time to think about my thoughts). Started with many good happy thoughts then other concerns slipped in. I didn't realize there were so many of them, good and bad. Had always read leave your worries to GOD. I was raised we pray of others and not for yourself. I never thought of asking GOD for my personal concerns.
Next on the agenda Set timer another 7 minutes and Pray. That was quite an experience and I did feel better after this session.
I thanked the LORD for listening to my prayers. I will pray for my concerns often. I will do this exercise more often. Thank you Pastor Glen for posting this.
