How I Pray now
How I Pray now with my precious time spent listening to God. I haven’t always prayed this way. I made the switch in the early 2000’s.
In my time with our lord, I receive great pleasure daily during my time visiting our lord our God the father. Every response from him, whether immediately or delayed, is an incredible miracle in my life. Our time is very special, it’s not like anything I’ve ever experienced, and I treasure every minute.
Can we be worried, stressed, or have fear and have faith simultaneously? No, it is not possible.
How we look at life XL yesterday, today, and even tomorrow is different. There is always beauty growing after the ugly aftermath of trouble. How we define it is what makes our mood in that time. It is of great value to be able to see and hear the awful and be able; to stay in love with our God and relax in peace knowing he has our back.
Faith of the faithful. Do not forget. Stop and smell the roses. He is there observing us. He answers questions if I ask. He reminds me to have faith and to trust him.
I, just like everyone else, sometimes will go scream or cry if needed. I then pray while talking or just spending time with God, and I am quiet. I will continue until I feel peace and feel he has excused me for the time being, or I think I need to go to sleep or do something God tells me to do. I have fallen asleep while talking with him. Sometimes hours pass, other times only minutes. I may suddenly be refreshed and or extremely happy. I never know what is to come of our time when we begin; I know that I receive a blessing when I feel it.
I may feel him, hear him or see things he is showing me. It is not as often as I would like and probably because I may not be giving my full attention. Whatever the reason, I want those moments with him when I connect with him. It is truly one of the greatest feelings. It is the ultimate peace!
This is how I pray.
Either I am at home or outside in nature in a safe place.
I prefer to sit Indian-style on a meditation pillow if possible. Palms facing up.
I start talking to God for as long as I can. After I pray, I stay in position and sit there.
It is our time. I still have my eyes closed. I will stay an hour or more if possible, in quiet until I get a message or have a feeling of peace, then I savor the moment as long as I can.
This is the secret of my life. My relationship with God, I cherish forever. My precious moments with God.
