God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference… before I discovered prayers like this and how to properly pray the rosary. Most times I prayed it was just saying this verbatim because I was told to. But when I discovered this pray for Serenity and how to pray the rosary they became a part of my thought process. Whenever things were falling apart in my life and literally there was no one to talk too about it without cause them undue stress. I would escape and pray the rosary. It had a meditative effect outside the connection with God I could actually empty my mind and when I was finish be able to see how things were and think about how I should react to them. The prayer for serenity came later and it allowed me to stop and think about m life on a smaller scale so that I wouldn’t just keep spinning my wheels and never actually accomplishing something in the world. These were my base as far as prayer. But I was taught so many more in my life and told to learn them that they were good for me to know without really understanding what they were or how I should even use them in life…
Have I ever directly to God???
Well the obvious answer would be Kairos and the last small group before the end. Where we were told to speak directly to God and ignore or forget that the physical world was around us. And somehow we all managed to do that and actually pour ourselves into space and reveal the damages that had been inflicted on our hearts so that God could help us heal them… but regardless of that once we released all that pain we had people to hold us together and 5 guys to support us once we came back from giving ourselves to “God.” The truth of the matter is they were God in action and what they did to help me at least can’t even be measured in leaps and bounds.
