“Our first experience of God is so important, we either experience Him as the police guard that wants to punish or as Creative Love that awaits.” — Pope Benedict XVI

Fast from your image of God as a judge.

Pray to God for guidance in leading you to be all that you can be.

Give some time to a creative process knowing that God is at work in all that you do.
