Dear Spirit of All Good Intention ~
I am often guilty of
following the path of least resistance, also known as the prettier and easier
way to procrastinate. Equally as often, I make elaborate plans to do so many
good things but then allow myself to be distracted. I jump into being overly busy
at superficial pursuits or worse, slacking off altogether. As Paul says in
Romans 7:19: For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do
not want is what I do. Well, I'm not out there doing so
much evil, I mean, I don't think I'm doing bad things
so much as I'm not just doing as many good things as I could.
Or, maybe, it's just that my intention is off track. I often
race through a day, a week, a month thoughtlessly, without really processing
WHY I'm doing things, be they good, not-so-good or just neutral.
Please stoke the desire and
intention within me to start and end each day with prayer. Help me to walk
through each part of the day with You as my reason for being, with You as my
reason for doing, with You who inspires all Good Intention. Um, do You mind if
I take the walk along that pretty path while I pray? I'll consciously
work to stay intentionally focused...amen.
*Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist
and is known as the founder of analytical psychology. He developed the concept
of archetypes, extroversion and introversion, and the collective unconscious.
His deep and collegial friendship with Sigmund Freud lasted about 6 years until
a serious disagreement broke the relationship. Jung believed, in part, that
spiritual development, a journey of transformation was essential for human
well-being. His study of many religions gave rise to his thought that in what
he called individuation, a journey to meet the self also leads to
meeting the Divine.
