I think the reason is because we imagine intimacy - resting, looking inward, talking to a person we aren't looking at, but imagining is there. We sense His presence at times or imagine we are resting in His love or compassion. That sense of peacefulness I think lends towards resting and may actually be a complment to God.<BR/><BR/>I still enjoy prayer, even when my conversation with God is, "This is why it is so hard for me to believe you are even here" type prayers.Paul M.

That in itself is life changing--- Then there are those moments when it moves from the mere outward observance and obedience to an encounter with God. Without the former- you cannot have the latter.Pastor Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13401038731569512858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28333398.post-36200448102571066432007-07-20T15:20:00.000-05:002007-07-20T15:20:00.000-05:00I have found myself praying and forgetting what I ...I have found myself praying and forgetting what I am praying about or losing my train of thought and I think it is because we are so limited. Not using that as an excuse but it is a fact. We see through a glass darkly. We are flesh and blood and are limited but when we do break through and hear our Lord respond and give insight to situations that is beyond is when we see its worth. I think that prayer is the best thing we can do and the hardest thing we can do. I believe its more common to struggle in prayer than most of us would want to admit.rgeorge61https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551844787605172384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28333398.post-43977279776528718722007-07-18T10:04:00.000-05:002007-07-18T10:04:00.000-05:00Imagine that..
