Talking To God

From: Bob Gass Ministries

Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God."

Throughout the centuries, Christians have learned the value of brief sentence prayers. These are prayers that can be whispered anywhere, in any setting. Frank Laubach sought unbroken communion with God by asking Him questions. Every two or three minutes he would pray, "Am I in Your will, Lord? Am I pleasing You, Lord?" 

Imagine considering every moment as a potential time of communion with God. By the time your life is over, you will have spent six months at traffic lights, eight months opening junk mail, a year and a half looking for lost stuff, and a whopping five years standing waiting in various queues. Why don't you give these moments to God? By giving Him your whispering thoughts, the common becomes uncommon. 

Simple phrases such as "Thank You, Lord," or "Lord, please be merciful to me a sinner," can turn a commute into a pilgrimage. You needn't leave your office or kneel in your kitchen. Just pray where you are. Let the kitchen, or office, or car, become a chapel. And at the end of the day, let your mind settle on Him. Conclude the day as you began it - talking to God.
