In Centering Prayer, the participant seeks the presence of God directly and ignores discursive thoughts and imagined scenes. The participant's aim is to be present to the Lord, to "consent to God's presence and action during the time of prayer." [Keating, Thomas (2009). Intimacy with God: an Introduction to Centering Prayer]
