Don’t think from my past post that I am at all discouraged. I’m not. If anything, I find myself more deternined than ever to figure this thing out rather than just apathetically drifting into inaction and paralyzation. Here is a little encouragement for all of you who, like me, have a very hard time getting quiet enough to really pray. That cacophony is still prayer!
From Primary Speech: A Psychology of Prayer by Barry and Ann Ulanov:
“If we can let ourselves go in prayer and speak all that is in our minds and hearts, if we can sit quietly and bear the silence, we will hear all the bits and pieces of ourselves crowding in on us, pleading for our attention. Prayer’s confession begins with this racket, for prayer is noisy with the clamor of all the parts of us demanding to be heard. The clamor is the sound of the great river of being flowing in us.”
