I took our dog on a long walk this morning to clear my head. At our favorite neighborhood park our little puppy was startled multiple times by the strong wind. I was reminded of the Bible passage from the book of Kings, where Elijah sought God in the earthquake, the fire, and the gust of wind…but it was in the gentle whisper that God was recognized. I pray for these gentle whispers of God’s presence grounding me in the days ahead.
I share this below resource on prayer as a suggestion for our focus on action and reflection. Plus a classic cover song from the Boss. God’s blessings on your week ahead!
Reflecting on Prayer Peter Oliver
Jesus spent a lot of time talking to his followers about prayer. He encouraged them to pray. He taught them how to pray. He told them parables about prayer. Praying is probably the most important thing a follower of the Gospel needs to do. The first and most important command is that we love God (Matthew 22:35-38), and we do that in prayer. Followed by action.
