While we have so much to bring and ask for, many of us do not practice listening. Prayer is not simply a request hotline, it establishes communion in him; an opportunity to be heard AND to listen; a chance to see and to BE SEEN (repentance)- in real life. With God. Having a prayer life means putting in the effort of acknowledging and including God actively in our everyday lives. Learning to live in a state of acknowledging the joyfully real presence of God and letting it change everything.
