via emailCalled (And Blessed) To Pray
March 24th, 2010Changes to my spiritual temperature seem to happen slowly, almost imperceptibly, and I usually don’t even realize I’ve changed until sometime later. Well, it happened again. I had been in the habit of quieting myself to listen and talk to God, but I didn’t notice that slipping away until now (which is months later). I noticed now because God’s been calling me back to quiet with Him, and I’ve been so blessed and refreshed by these times - and I’ve MISSED that.
So, tell me, what do you appreciate most about your prayer times with God?

I appreciate the refreshment that I sense after being quiet at the Masters feet. Like the deer whose thirst is quenched, plus add in the warm sun, flowing grassy open space freckled with wildflowers, a gentle breeze - relaxing in the midst of a chaotic world. Other times it is the clarity of an answer, or a reminder of mission and purpose for the day. Knowing that God cares so deeply for me and loves me, is always there for me, beckoning me sweetly to gaze upon him. It is a deep breath of fresh air!!

I think for me what I appreciate the most is simply the opportunity to talk with God. It’s amazing that He’ll listen to me and also speak to me. The same voice that spoke this world into existence speaks to me! And when He speaks, it’s not just ‘anything’ that He says, but He tells me exactly what I need to hear in order to turn to Him, love Him, and trust Him more and more.
