Raise your hand if you have ever heard someone say that they talk to God. Raise your other hand if you ever thought that they were crazy?
I see you over there with both hands raised.
I used to be the same way. I couldn’t grasp how that was possible. Why would some big far away God be bothered with the day to day world of little old me?
But then I tried it and little by little I started to hear as well. At first it was a whisper, a suggestion that I used to think was my subconscious. But when I started reading the Bible I realized that those thoughts I had were concepts that were straight out of the Bible; concepts that I had never “learned” before.
Intrigued, I started to listen to the little whisper more and more and in time it became much louder to the point where now I can’t imagine how I navigated through life without it before.
As we embark on this journey through this year of freedom I’ll also share how I pray, what I am praying for and the ways I am trying to grow in my conversations with God.
Let’s do it together!
I bet that by the end of the year we will in a place that we NEVER could have imagined. And I look forward to you all teaching me some things along the way as well.
The First Challenge: I dare you to pray for 5 minutes a day, every day for the next 10 days. This is 5 minutes of undivided attention, not praying while driving, watching TV, or chillin’ with your friends. Say whatever you want or even say nothing at all! But give 5 minutes of time to God.
Let’s see what happens.
