Without judging it (or yourself), ask, “And what is underneath this desire? What desire is even more basic than this one?” 7. Gently repeat this question for each subsequent desire that surfaces. Ask each one, “Is there an even more basic desire underneath this one?” 8. When you come to the deepest desire, honor it as central to who you are. 9. Finally, offer it back to God, just as it is, as an expression of who you are at this moment.”
