God is not something I think about but something I experience as an energy, a Presence. I do find it easier to pray to a female Presence or an androgynous Presence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's completely through prayer that I came to believe in God. I just sensed a presence south of my neck.
I want to talk about God in a literary way. But I think I would have a very hard time praying to God.
I experience God as the power of love.
Sometimes I pray when I really feel like I need God to help me with something, and sometimes we just have conversations. We just kick it.
Over the years as I went through a lot more things, I've gotten closer and closer to God as far as praying a lot more, being into the Word.
'Presence of God' is really that understanding that sometimes when you step out of your own shoes and just open your ears and listen to what's going on around you, you get answers to the questions you were asking.
I prayed like a man walking in a forest at night, feeling his way with his hands, at each step fearing to fall into pure bottomlessness forever. Prayer is like lying awake at night, afraid, with your head under the cover, hearing only the beating of your own heart.
More than anything, praying just helps me to concentrate and let go of things that don't matter in that moment. It gives me peace knowing I'm in good hands.
I think one thing is that prayer has become more useful, interesting, fruitful, and... almost involuntary in my life.
I spend a lot of time in prayer. God doesn't always show up on my time, but he always shows up!
