So you sit down to “meditate” according to some spiritual program. Plus you have your method of meditating. Your goal is in mind. You will feel better, more peaceful, and then have more patience with others. You will be “nice.” But then come all these distractions, discomfort, noise inside your head or around you. What a mess! Not really. Are you not trying to connect with some Power, God, Ultimate Reality? Your goal, your expected results from your prayer, was your program for happiness. Maybe the will of this Power is for all these “distractions” to happen. That is the Power’s way of getting in touch with you at this moment. Why? For humility. So that you let go of control, impatience, self-pity and a need to be in charge of your spiritual path. Accept that this is the prayer for now. Distractions. You are plenty close to God. You showed up. Methods are not for control, not if God is real.
