EP. 15 – a prayer for stillness
What would happen if we prayed for stillness instead of filled every moment in prayer with our own words? A deep prayer life is so much more than requests to God. Practicing silence and solitude opens us up to an actual two-way relationship with our Heavenly Father.
Here’s a simple and quick prayer to get you started.
- Reflect back to God why this time is important
- Surrender what causes distractions
- Share with the Lord why the quiet can feel scary
