Lenten Reflection Day 3

Do you pray everyday? Every other day? Once a week? Do you pray only in moments of struggle or fear? Prayer is the simplest way of inviting God into our lives, but prayer is so often misunderstood. How do we pray? Are there words I’m supposed to say? What if I don’t know what to say? Prayer is a language, a conversation, and a conversation consists of two people sharing in the task of actively speaking AND actively listening. It’s not enough to just talk to God, we also have to take the time to listen. Prayer never was meant to be one-sided, but rather a dialogue.
CHALLENGE: Allow yourself a few moments of silence this day. Try talking to God. Don’t worry about what to say, just begin by talking to him about your day. It could be about something good that happened or something you are looking forward to. Then allow yourself to sit and be still, take some deep, cleansing breathes to help quiet your mind, and wait. While you may not hear a thunderous voice booming down from the Heavens, your Spirit will be moved. Allow yourself this quiet time each day and EXPECT to hear from God.
Blessings to You and Yours!
