Prayer and presence (a prayer)

-
God, help me remember that one of the most important aspects of prayer is being with You. It is seeking Your presence. It is being with You. It is being aware of You. It is spending time with You.

Yes. Prayer is about presence.

Help me be more present with You in this moment, and in the next, and every time I make (offer) a word of prayer or thanksgiving.

Being with You is key.

Seeking Your presence is what I will do for eternity. It is that important.

Confessions of a Bible-nut

-
So I have another confession. I am a nut. With my favorite translation of the Bible. I am a walking storefront of my favorite version of the Bible. Want to see what possibilities there are? I have a thinline, medium print, large print, and giant print. The main Bible I have chosen, though, is the thinline, smaller print version because it is easy for me to carry and pace as I pray from it. It's also easy for me to carry it everywhere.

Do not be silent (at certain times)

-
There are times to be silent, like when we are with the Father. We need to listen far more than we speak. We miss out on much when we fail to hush and listen. (Sidenote: And isn't it funny/sad how we can say then how we are concerned because we haven't heard from the Lord?) However, there are times when we must not remain silent. Please read: Esther 4:14 Isaiah 62:1
