"God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer." Mother Teresa
....listening is the beginning of prayer...Not our words, but in our silence God speaks to us. Not in our lists of needs, hopes, dreams, but in the quietness of our very heart, God whispers His hopes, His dreams, and His needs for us.
What does God want for you?
Listening requires us to stop our thoughts, our bodies and focus those thoughts and this body on our Creator. When we stop the chaos for those few precious moments to bring ourselves into his presence, into His light, then we begin to truly enter ourselves into prayer.
I believe that once we learn the art of prayer, then we can learn how to pray without ceasing as Paul advised us all to do. Then our very lives becomes a living prayer, a continuous dialouge with our Father God, Savior Jesus and the Blessed Spirit who lives within.
Yet it all starts with the listening. Be blessed.
