Before I started the Prayer and Intercession study Stan is teaching, my prayer life left a lot to be desired. While I prayed, I didn’t pray long or often enough to even meet my own expectations. Now, as of the past week and counting today, I reached a new achievement: six out of seven days, I’ve made time for God.

And I don’t spend this prayer time doing esoteric stuff like contemplating how fast a stone sinks, either; instead, I am concentrating on improving my relationship with the L-RD and seeking His direction for my life.

This past week, in fact, I had a really different but enjoyable experience where, during the entire hour or so I was in prayer, all I could really do is concentrate on being given a glimmer of the holiness of God. Each night, I don’t know what to expect necessarily, but I’m certainly feeling better about my pursuit of closeness to the L-RD, even though I still have plenty of room to grow.
