Give God A Chance
There was a recent article in Our Sunday Visitor Magazine written by Father John LoCoco in which he reminds us that if we are feeling ‘nothing’ when we pray, maybe it’s time we shift our perspective.
Many of us feel when we pray we are going to God, and often that feels like our own initiative, our own plan, and then when things do not go ‘our way’ we become discouraged. When we do this we are putting prayer into the category of a transaction: If I say these prayers or sit quietly long enough, God will do something, anything. But by changing our perspective from me going to God, to God coming to me, we open a new way to view our prayer life that will be both more productive and more satisfying.
Spend time in the Adoration Chapel sitting quietly in his presence knowing he will come - this is a form of prayer. All you have to do is give him a chance.
