Begin with prayer -
"God,
I believe that You are searching for me and I open my heart to You
today. Please clear away the things that are blocking the door to my
heart."
Meditation -
This attachment is a form of an attachment to power and can be very difficult to let go of. The life that we have been given often feels like it is all our own and we have the right to do or not do whatever we choose. We easily lose sight of the fact that every moment is a gift from God that is meant to be spent glorifying Him by our lives and choosing what is good and true and beautiful. Eastern Catholics have a beautiful spirituality around a prayer called "The Jesus Prayer". At the heart of this spirituality is the striving to pray without ceasing, to constantly glorify God. Learn to relate everything, moment by moment, to God and you will find that all your time is His. Your life is not your own.
Take five minutes and meditate on the Jesus Prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me a sinner". Throughout the day, whenever the Holy Spirit draws your mind back to this prayer, pray it again.
Gratitude -
Now
or in the evening, pause and reflect on one specific thing you are
grateful for today, and give thanks to God for this and all the gifts in
your life.
