talk

I’ve been thinking lately about prayer. Sometimes, during another person’s prayer, I won’t bow my head with the other people in the room. I don’t close my eyes but instead I will just look around. I don’t know why I have the impulse to do this; I think maybe it is because I feel like I am being preached at.

Do people view prayer as a mechanism for getting their points across? Do I?

So what if one day someone high-up in the church said that “all prayer will be non-verbal from now on”. How would our words change without any one to hear them but God?

Would communicating to God be simply that? Communicating?

I want to talk to God, tell Him my problems, and ask for wisdom without talking to those around me. I want my focus to be on Him, He deserves that much when I talk to Him.

Has anyone ever told you to look at them when you’re talking to them?

I want to look at God, praise Him and just talk.
