Hi, SOFLY Hearts ❤️
-Welcome to another SOFLY topic-
Pretty often I will find myself daydreaming of Paris. But this is more than Paris and more than dreaming. This post is about quiet belief and allowing your thoughts to take you to special places and revelations.
…That for me is prayer. I pray every day. I pray on purpose. I pray at the beginning of the day. I pray as a lifestyle. When I go about my day and I did not start it off with prayer, something will stop me in my tracks to help me realize the void. It happens every single time. (My niece #1 would call that type of thing crazy and amazing).
When you have a bond that is so connected to your everyday life you will count on it. In this case with prayer, it gets me through my day. So I make it my daily business to show my thanks to God; to be quiet and ask for what I believe I need. I have zero trouble with praying.
I’m on this topic because something very strange and significant happened to me in my prayer, just recently. It was a new level to my prayers.
As normal -I shut out everything around me (no distractions) then I closed my eyes. I was ready to start off with what I usually say when I pray, ‘thank you Lord for this day’. But nothing came out of my mouth. Not one word came to my mind. There was no thought of what I wanted to ask God to do for my family, my hopes, my youth, my relationships or my strength – this would have been some of my normal prayer thoughts. Instead, I saw everything that happened the day before. It was a prayer of reflections. The moments and situations were right there in my face. I had to look right at it. It was like watching a movie. (Thanks to movies being one of my favorite pastimes it was easy to stay in this prayer vibe and let it roll). I saw some things I wanted to do much differently. I realized these changes would make a difference in my life. I believe I was seeing my recent life exactly as it happened and interruption-free because this is what I needed to pray and focus on.
I did not get a chance to speak at all in that prayer. I was spoken to -in that prayer. I was shown another way to pray.
Although I’ve been thinking about Paris and fashion a lot this month, I’m happy that my spirit slowed me down to show me this silver glitzy star.
Pray your way. Pray different. Pray.
–Much Love
