In the Life of the Spirit intention is a focused prayer that gathers the whole of oneself—body, mind and spirit-- into declaring an objective that matches what one is called to by God. Our part of the equation is to answer God’s call with a prayer of intention to make that call a reality. God’s part of the equation is to transform us so that this intention becomes the reality in our lives. God has the bigger part, but totally depends upon our willingness to align ourselves with what God wants for us, from us. To set an intention is to open the door into an area of our lives that has previously been closed to God, allowing the Holy Spirit entry. That’s all we have to do. The Holy Spirit totally transforms us from the inside out. Sometime later when maybe a few months have gone by, we realize that we are acting in a whole new way. The prayer of intention used to be called aligning our will with God’s will.
