Please get the book "God Guides" and use it as a conversation starter with our compassionate and loving God who longs for us to invest our entire day in His presence - with extraordinary encounters with Him through meetings with clients, projects, our spouses, our kids, neighbors, etc.... God has used the testimonies of this woman and the Indian people in her spehere of influence to shake my American sense of self-abosorption. "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty." Psalm 91:1 This is Michael’s finest piece.

How was it different than when you were walking in the woods? In the past when I have tried this, I either can't turn off my racing mind or I end up taking a nap.

For example, you may say to yourself softly: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart ..", and ponder this gently. When your mind wanders off, softly say again "Trust in the Lord with all your heart .." (this scripture is just an example, use a scripture that actually speaks to what is on your heart). Ask the Lord to open you heart to it, and He will begin to speak to you, and it can be in different ways. If spontaneous thoughts caome to you about your topic, write them down as Mark Virkler suggests, and you can ponder and verify them later. Maidena,

Most of us either hurry through our 'prayer' by getting right to the point of OUR needs, without ever focusing on Father God's need to speak to us, His children. Just a thought...70% of our prayer time, communicating with God, should be made up of praise, worship, thanksgiving, and listening. This is 70% focusing on Him, not us. The other 30% should be us talking, first interceeding for other people as the Holy Spirit lays a burden on our hearts and finally, us petitioning for our specific (very important) needs. The next time you spend 15-minutes in prayer try 5-minutes in praise, worship, and thanksgiving-5 in intercession and petition-5 or more in listening(clearing your mind of all thoughts and distractions) You will be amazed at what happens, just like M.P. shared with us! Hope this blesses someone. All-In His Love and For His Glory, j. Great M.!
