Prayer is no mystery.
It is simply talking with God.
Prayer seems hard because believing in God is hard. If we had no doubts about God, then prayer
would be a snap; but talking to a Person we can neither see nor hear as if our
lives depended upon it (which it does) stretches the limits of our faith.
Stretching our faith is just what God wants. He wants us to learn that trusting Him with
all our hearts and souls is the only way we can live as enlightened beings in a
darkened world.
When we are in a room and the lights go off, we see nothing
at first. After a few minutes, our eyes
adjust and we can walk confidently, even with just a little light.
Prayer is like that.
At first, we have a weak vision of God.
The world seems dark, This happens because of our distance from
Him. When we pray to Him, turning our
face in His direction, then the darkness begins to diminish and we see Him more
clearly. Eventually, we see His light
well enough to navigate through the obstacles of life, trusting His divine
Presence to lead us where we need to go.
Today, as you meditate on God, don’t worry if you cannot
feel His presence at first, or if you can’t seem to hear His voice. He is there.
The more you meditate on Him, the greater your understanding of that
voice will become.

and you alone.
