Close
with another prayer. Thank Jesus for being with you and for what you have
learned from Him. Then open your eyes, breathe deeply, stretch, and get up slowly.
And then, don’t imagine
yourself saying goodbye to Jesus and going about your business. That’s the difference
between this kind of meditation and the pale copies! When a busy executive merely takes five minutes
to relax, her body benefits. When she gets up, she picks up her burdens again, feeling
more able to cope with the stresses of her complex life. But we leave
our burdens. We put them in hands that know much more than
we do about how to take care of them, and we leave them there. We get up and
take Him with us to do the dishes or to guide our hands as we fix a car or mend
a broken body. Wherever you go, whatever you do, your best Friend wants to go
and do it with you.
