     "Which is the most important of all the commandments?"

     Jesus said, "The first in importance is, ' Listen Israel: The Lord your God is one; so love the Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy.'"

     "And here is the second: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.'"

The Kingdom is within you

The Healing Light. This is a classic book, written by Agnes Sanford. Sanford is credited as being the founder of the inner-healing movement (healing of memories).

"The Kingdom of God is within you," said Jesus. It is the Indwelling Light, the secret Place of the Consciousness of the Most High, that is the Kingdom of Heaven in its present manifestation on earth. Learning to live in the Kingdom of Heaven is learning to turn on the light of God within.

john owen meditations

From CCEL.org
Here is the CCEL summary:
In 1657, John Owen produced one of his finest devotional treatises, probably the substance of a series of sermons. He examines the Christian's communion with God as it relates to all three members of the Holy Trinity. Owen directs Christians towards green pastures and still waters, and lays open the exhaustless springs of the Christian's hidden life with God. Yet, twenty years after its publication, Of Communion with God provoked the heavy criticism from another theologian. This work brings together not only Owen's original work, but also his response to this heavy criticism. In his reply, Owen vindicates himself from the various mystical sentiments that were ascribed to him. This wonderful book illustrates healthy Christian dialogue, and is a wonder to read.

C.S. Lewis on prayer

     The C.S. Lewis Institute six free videos on C.S. Lewis' book "Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer" and a free study guide too. (No registration or opt-in required). Types of prayer discussed include worship, meditation, silence, thanksgiving, petition, intercession, etc.
     "Indeed, we discover in the conversation that prayer is more than something we do. It is a relationship into which we are invited. We learn that what we say to God and how we say it are of only secondary importance. Prayer involves an unveiling. In prayer we let God see our true self as we make our deepest longings known to God. Further, through prayer, we are invited to participate with God as privileged partners in his divine work in the world."

    KCM advice on how to meditate scripture:
   Ask Holy Spirit to help you find a scripture that pertains to your situation. Read it, in context, and in the original text. Write it out. Post it where you can see it. Ponder it. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal its meaning to you. It may take days or weeks, but over time the Holy Spirit will give the meaning and revelation to you. 
    KCM recommends these verses to battle stress," here are five to get you started..."

The Benedictine Abbey of Christ in the Desert (New Mexico) maintains a monastery guesthouse for visitors. It sounds amazing:
     "To aid all of our guests in their quest to seek God, an atmosphere is maintained that provides time for privacy, prayer, reading, and reflection on God’s Word speaking in prayer services and the liturgies. The atmosphere most conducive to this kind of sharing of our life includes silence and some solitude."

     “For many years after my conversion,” he admits, “I never used any ready-made forms except the Lord’s Prayer. In fact I tried to pray without words at all—not to verbalize the mental acts. Even in praying for others I tended to avoid their names and substituted mental images of them. I still think that the prayer without words is the best—if one can really achieve it.”
