how to keep prayerful

Posted in Discernment, God's Presence, Stories at 10:22 pm by Tara

how do i keep prayerful in the midst of hustling and bustling in this crazy city of 7 million people?

one thing that i have found myself continually being drawn to… as i soak in the consumerism and filling of “stuff” in homes… i find myself randomly praying for the Spirit to come upon this city.

and at the same time i find myself aking the Lord to take away my judgmental attitude!

and i am in awe as i look around this city that once drew so many missionaries, the beautiful building built by Europeans who came to spread the Word…

only to pray again for the Spirit to come upon this city.

and then i am reminded of my own city thousands of miles away, and my comunity there, and that we truly remember why Easter is…

and the words ringing in my head are mercy and grace.
