Day Two - Praying about what to write.

So then, if this blog is to be about 'listening prayer' - listening to what God might be wanting to say - then I'd better start right here.

Make myself still as I sit here at the keyboard - hear the sounds of the computer, my husband moving in the house, but listen for the ideas that might be appropriate.

Catechism definition of prayer from my childhood (as I remember it):
PRAYER is an elevation of the soul to God,

• To PRAISE Him for his goodness,
• To THANK Him for his benefits,
• To ASK for what we need, and to obtain forgiveness for our sins
• And to obtain the GRACE not to commit them again.

St. Francis de Sales tells us: "Pray for your prayer's success." so Lord of LOVE , You know I want to pray for what You want me to pray for - in our culture, actions, and attitudes. Make this a good prayer. Amen
