Reading today from an amazing book. Thinking about what has happened, and what is yet to come. The reading was on prayer, and how to put that to work. Here is the author's thoughts, in a nutshell:
We access the prayer of our hearts, we become open to God's call, when we do these things:
1) take the holy scriptures and read them. Dig in, wherever. Read with open ears, heart, and mind.
2) quiet time in God's presence. Still your mind and heart, empty them of the 'noise'. Be still and reflect on what you have read.
3) seek guidance. talk to someone else you trust, who is walking in the Way of Jesus with you. Tell them what you are praying for, about, what you hear and see God asking and calling you to do. Run it through their lens.
I like this. A LOT. I think we can be this for each other, and for others in our lives. Are you willing to take that next step?
