Lift up your heart to God1 with a gentle stirring2 of love. Focus on him alone. Want him, and not anything he’s made. Think on nothing but him. Don’t let anything else run through your mind and will. Here’s how. Forget what you know. Forget everything God made and everybody who exists and everything that’s going on in the world, until your thoughts and emotions aren’t focused on or reaching3 toward anything, not in a general way and not in any particular way. Let them be. For the moment, don’t care about anything.
