More on Prayer
I guess when God wants you to learn something, He makes it known. Last night I was reading from "The Seeking Heart" by Fenelon and of course the following popped out at me since I had just blogged on this topic:
"Although you have lived far from Him, you need not be afraid to come to Him like a child. Tell Him how weak and miserable you are, tell Him what you need and what bothers you. You may even tell Him that sometimes you are not exactly thrilled to serve Him. "You cannot speak too freely or too truthfully to Him. He likes simple people and talks with them often. Put away all your grand ideas and just be honest with Him."

thanx for that, Sherri. sounds like a good book, if that quote is any indication . . .
i try my best to be honest with God. i heard a speaker say once that some days when you're not feeling great and you're not inclined to pray - just show up. . be with Him in your mind and heart and just 'be'. I've found at other times that if i tell God why i love Him and start thanking Him for specific things my whole tone changes and its like something 'clicks' and I feel more able to be close to Him, talk to Him and sit with Him.
