Listening Prayer (Seeing 20/20 - A Spiritual Journey)
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." John 10:27 NIV Theologian Rowan Williams says this quote about prayer in his book, Being Disciples- "The real problem in prayer is not the absence of God but the absence of us...We are all over the place, entertaining memories, fantasies, anxieties. God is simply there in unending patience, saying, 'When are you going to sit and listen?'" When we think of prayer, we most often view it as our communication with God. We know prayer is intended to be a 2-way conversation, however, if we’re honest, we do most of the talking. Thankfully, God is a patient and understanding listener. But God wants to speak to us too. Just being present and listening is a form of prayer. In the stillness… God can speak into the circumstance of our life. -------------------- We'd love to hear from you!
