In the "New Covenant" made by our Creator God with humanity (Jeremiah 31:31-34) every person can know God from within - because the Holy Spirit is revealing our Creator to all who are willing to know the Lord and trust in Him. We can still help each other along the way; so may you be pleased to find here a variety of helps to the life of faith in God through Jesus Christ. G.S.

2) Be still… adjust your body as you need to in order to let go & relax…
3) Pay attention to your interior landscape as if you were driving in the country…
4) If all is quiet and peaceful, lovely… focus on a kind image of God or Jesus
5) If all is not quiet, notice the noise, words, echoes, whatever comes along…
Acknowledge it briefly and let it go; focus on a kind image of God or Jesus
