Last year when I was attending classes (continuing Ed) at Perkins School of Youth Ministry as SMU, I had the opportunity to walk a prayer labyrinth. I was greatly distracted by my own thoughts in the beginning and finally began to center myself and do some chatting with God. We had a good chat, but if I remember correctly I vented a little and He spoke to me some things I didn’t want to hear, but I came to have peace with the message He had for me that day.
Each year at our Passion Week Services, we offer our youth the opportunity to walk the prayer labyrinth. Outside the door, there is a notebook where the youth can record their thoughts about their experience. The entries range from nice to deeply profound. When we take time to talk to God, we begin to hear the meaning of life.
I was introduced to a website that has an online labyrinth. It is from the Methodist church out of England.
The following is the description from their website:
A labyrinth is an ancient spiritual tool that leads the traveler along a meditative path. Through images, words, music and actions we hope that you are able to consider your spiritual journey and be inspired and challenged.
Give it a whirl.
