To pray is to focus ourselves within God’s presence. Prayer moves us to experience that which is already, but has remained unknown. To pray is to join with God in what God is doing. Therefore, prayer is either always selfish or never selfish, depending on how we understand the outcome.
Real prayer takes time. Thirty minutes every day is a good start. Real prayer offers a conversation with God regarding all the vital details of our lives as well as the mundane seemingly unimportant aspects of our days. All topics are welcome in prayer.
Yet, we do not know what to pray. No one ever does, nor can. We place ourselves in God’s presence and listen. Quietly waiting for God to speak is the hardest work of our praying. By listening, we begin to sense the message, which God has been speaking to us all along. Let us pray.
