Prayer/Conversation

Pray is such a good way to have a conversation with God. During prayer time I feel as though I am with God and He is teaching me through the Liturgy of the Hours office or through praying the Rosary as I concentrate on the Mysteries of His life. It helps me to realize all the He went through for me and all mankind. IF I am feeling bad or annoyed about something it is during prayer that He will allow me to realize the reason why I had a certain trial during the day. During prayer time for me is when He instructs me on how I should live and act towards others. St. Francis was in constant prayer and he was able to keep close to God in his life. Jesus was in constant prayer. He always took time to go off by Himself and speak with God no matter where he was. Also another great way to converse with God for me is when I do a Holy Hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament. I will say a few prayers and then I will keel or sit quietly for a while. It was had for me to do at first but after several times it got easier. I noticed that when i stay quiet and keep my mind set on God I will be able to hear Him in my heart helping me through what ever it is I am going through and then I have a lot of peace afterwards. For me that took a lot of time to learn how to stay that quiet and be able to listen not with my physical ears bu with he ears of my heart. Not easy to do but once you learn how to do this the council you receive is awesome. Prayer can change so many things in life but there are too many people who do not take the time for this type of conversation with God and thy are missing out on so much. Life can get busy with all our problems and distractions but when you truly take time to set aside for Him things will start to fall in place and He will start to guide you in directions you never thought possible. Pray often and then listen with your heart. Its amazing. Peace  T
