An Exercise of Ceaseless Intercession

In conjunction with today's intentional focus on thankfulness, I would like to propose a prayerful exercise I have been batting around for the past few days. In the coming weeks, as you find yourself walking down a neighborhood street, a city block, or through a bustling, holiday market, imagine yourself as a shinning, simmering thurible from which praises continually rise.
(For those who, like myself, didn't grow up in churches that used these, thuribles are the often ornately designed incense holders priests wave around during liturgical services. From them, a pleasing smoke pours upwards, which is symbolic of our prayers as the ascend towards the heavens).

This exercise can be seen as a variation on Brother Lawrence's famous concept of practicing ceaseless prayer. It's purpose can be manifold, but for me it helps as I try and fix my constant attention on the recognition of God's presence and cultivate a general posture of thankfulness for the blessings of life. As you walk, picture plumes of prayer pouring skywards from your body, permeating the area in which you pace with intercessions of peace, pleas for restoration, and thankful praises.
