Prayer is…

"Prayer invites us to live in ever closer communication with the One who loves us more than any human being ever can " Henri Nouwen

So often we treat prayer like a magic spell or wish that we hope will motivate God to give us what we desire. While it is true that God wants us to ask Him for what we need, prayer can and should be the divine connection with God in all things. Here is a suggestion: Find a quiet place, close your eyes and take a couple of deep breaths. Speak the words "God is here now." Let the reality of that phrase seep into your present moment and enjoy Him. This is prayer.
