Altars: Centering Prayers for Cultivating a Thankful Heart

There are many books on Centering Prayer (what it is and how to do it), BUT THIS BOOK offers a collection of simple Centering Prayers, much like the Jesus Prayer or Kyrie Eleison, that will help you on your journey to your true Center in Christ. The short prayers offered in this book are simple tools to help you begin each journey into Centering Prayer. They are meditative pieces that not only initiate the prayer time, but provide an anchor for your mind should it begin to drift while seeking your center in Christ. These prayers, or portions of these prayers, can be repeated slowly and softly until your mind is at rest and your heart is engaged with the Father's presence. Like the Jesus Prayer and others like it, the Centering Prayers in this book will provide focus for your practice of God's presence and help cultivate a grateful heart as you approach our Redeemer in prayer. Enjoy!
