January 27, 2008: What are You Saying – Michael Hidalgo

So often we become formalized in our speech that we stop hearing what we are saying. We develop wrote prayers devoid of meaning and substance and miss out on deep communion with God. Prayer however is something intensely personal between God and us. It is deep intimacy with the Creator of our world. But what does it look like to center ourselves fully on the person of God to whom we speak? What does it look like to draw near to God on his terms - to have our prayers focus on him - rather than draw near to him on our terms? As we commune with God through prayer our life should reflect who he is more and who we are less.
