Well if I have to answer that exactly, I’m afraid I can’t. It surely isn’t just one thing or done in one way. I will tell you what prayer was for me this morning as I lay in bed before getting up. I was mostly feeling. There were few words. As I lay picturing my journey to Kenya and the possibilities for ministry here that the Lord may be calling me to I was more focused on my feelings. I was experiencing a whole range of emotions as I tried to figure things out.
I was all at once very aware of the presence of the Holy Spirit as I began to question why I had spent all of this energy without uttering a prayer. It was then that I realized I had been praying all along. It wasn’t I that had initiated the prayer, it was the Holy Spirit. We had been having a mostly wordless conversation speaking through emotions.
If we surrender ourselves to God, our whole life can be a prayer.
