Crazy Love

Crazy Love
By Francis Chan

"Stop talking AT God for a while, but instead take a long hard look at Him before you speak another word". pg1

I must confess, so often I 'pray' to God, and that includes a bunch of my ramblings, begging for forgiveness,some thanksgiving, petition, and requests. Then Amen. I am working on listening to God. Being quiet in His presence. So far, I can only do about ten minutes at a time. If I sit too long, too many things vie for my attention. I have found if I go for a stroll, or look around at nature, I find it easier than sitting on a chair in the house with my eyes closed. Strange, I think, cause that is not at all what I would have thought. This will be a work in progress, but am confident the more I do it, the longer I will be able to quietly sit before Him.
