I just could not connect to the internet last night, and this morning, no time to connect… So all my great wisdom had to wait…
That experience is much like our prayer life, sometimes we just don’t feel like we connected to God, or the line got disconnected, just when we where at the good stuff or we just don’t have time today fro God, but we will get to it as soon as we can.
Such is life for most of us, not many of us have total control of our day, we work, have to deal with the boss, we have kids and have to run them about, we have clubs and organizations we belong to, and besides I give God 1 hour every Sunday, what more does he need…
Well, God don’t need us at all, he will do just fine with out you or me, or anyone, the fact is, prayer time is for us, not God.
We need it to slow ourselves down, to reconnect to the goodness of the Lord, and to refill our soul with the water of everlasting life.
All too often we move at a fast pace, we need to get here, or there, we need this and that we need… we want… faster… better… more… less… now… latter….
You get the idea?
Prayer is neither fast nor slow, it just is… when done with an open heart, God will determen how long is to long, and when to stop and start… God will move you through the prayer, the Holy Spirit will refresh your soul, and lift your spirit, and allow you to begin life a-new…
Prayer does none of these things for God, he doesn’t need to feel refreshed, he is never in a hurry, and life is always flowing for him…
Prayer is Gods gift to us, to allow us to commune with peace itself…. To absorb the quiet love that is God.
So stop, relax and pray… God wants you to…

Nice written.
I was just looking for some pictures (googled “pray”), and I found this site. Really like the picture of the praying hands here. Can I have the permission to use it on my website? I’m from the Catholic Student Group in Trondheim (Norway). Was going to post a text about prayer, and needed a picture.
Hi! I found your site because I was looking for a picture of praying hands, just like Huy Bao Ngo from Trondheim (a town nesxt to mine, Molde). I liked what you wrote about praying. If you all can help me and pray for me and my dog, Linus, who has two very bad knees. He is only 4, and the fact that he is sick is so sad, and affect my health and wellbeeing as well. I love him so much! You can se him in my blog!
