Yesterday morning I laid in silence for a long time, seeking God before beginning to pray. Suddenly, I experienced God’s presence, then, instantly, today’s prayer began to arrive. All I had to do was to write it down as it flowed, line by line, without a moment’s hesitation. This was a very rare gift for which I was truly grateful, as I am so weary.
Moses approached the thick darkness where God was Exodus 20:21; NLT.
I seek you in darkness,
In silence,
In stillness;
I seek you in loneliness,
Sorrow,
And fear;
I seek you in nature,
In beauty,
In others;
I seek you in suffering:
Lord,
You are here.
Jacob woke up and said, “The LORD is here! He is in this place, and I didn’t know it!” (Genesis 28:16; GNT).
