30.Recently my sunday sch teacher gave us an exercise, that is, to pray for
30 mins everyday. that probably sounded really easy. it's only 30 mins of your life. When i tried it the first day, it was shocking. I prayed as long as i could and it only lasted through 5mins! I found myself looking at my watch in despair. this cant be it. I ran out of things to say to my Lord. Then i realised that i was so weak in my prayer life! Focusing 30 mins just seemed tough.
James Long wrote in "Why is God silent" that prayer is companionship.
"..some of the most sublime moments of companionship are moments shared in silence. Perhaps it can be the same with God. Perhaps an even deeper level of communication begins when we quit talking. Then, there is the silence, we both became articulate."
Christ himself prayed all night, but does that mean he spoke to God all night? non-stop?
Maybe prayer didnt really have to be spoken out.
