Since God is at the depth and centre of your soul, why not then pause from time to time at least from that which occupies you outwardly, even from your spoken prayers, to worship him inwardly, to praise him, petition him, to offer him your heart and thank him? What can God have that gives him greater satisfaction than that a thousand, thousand times a day all his creatures should this pause to withdraw and worship him in the heart.

Lent is the perfect opportunity for me to concentrate on the much neglected inner life, to step away from the busyness and noise of the outward life - all the distractions - and make a deliberate space to connect with God deep within myself.
Scripture
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances
1 Thessalonians 5.16-17
