how is your soul?

I keep the following list pinned up to do a soul assessment from time to time. I find it a helpful check-up list.

You're prayerfully present to God if you are....

Internally and externally "at home" and able to welcome guests.
Embodied, content, and connected with being a physical person located in a physical environment.

In the moment, immediate to the occasion.

Accepting of what is "now".

"In time" to the rhythms of grace in and around me.

Patient, able to rest, and able to wait.

"Grounded" in place and "oriented" in time.

Available, accessible.

Open, spacious in mind, heart, and consciousness.

Welcome, accepting.

Vulnerable, incomplete, and in need.

Willing to be changed by engagement and encounter.

Engaged, "entered in".

Turned to, turned toward.

"There" with God and others, for God and others, on behalf of God and others.

Honoring.

Aware, conscious, intentional.
