Prayer

 Prayer has always been a struggle for me. I've never been tested, but I'm pretty sure I've developed some sort of high functioning  ADD. My brain is always processing at least 3 things at the same time and focus on one thing for an extended period of time is near torture. 

Last April I was able to participate in an Ann Arbor stay-cation for spring break. The trip was about getting closer to God. Our leader, Kyle, taught us how to pray like the Monks pray. Monotonous repetition of scripture as a prayer. I found this so much better than my own efforts of prayer because it was specific and directed. When I try to pray at random I find myself daydreaming and thinking rather than praying. 

As I stretch to go deeper with God I hope to come to a place where I enjoy praying. I mean how awesome is it that I get to have a conversation with my creator and the lover of my soul anytime I want. That's truly a beautiful thing! 

I'm ready to take the leap into deeper water. To become deeper rooted. To seek Gods face rather than His hand because I love him and I want to know him.
