A duck in a different headwind.

Prayer. Meditation. Talking. Thinking. Feeling.

I choose Meditation as my main mode of prayer. When I see others praying it is a verbal or a mental/verbal prayer.

Am I missing something by not using English language, either spoken or thought to communicate with Him? I don't think so, but will entertain the arguement.

I sometimes pray as others do, but I prefer to meditate. But as I don't expect God to speak English to me, I meditate on the feelings, emotions and open myself to feel His presence, rather than hear words spoken.

I typically meditate outside in nature, sometimes though, I can clear enough of my thoughts to meditate around crowd of people, and I'll feel His presence in the crowd.


These words came to me during recent events and I wanted to share this prayer:

I do not know if God set this trial upon us, or if it is the iniquity of our fathers for which we now pay.
I ask not for shelter from the storm, but for the resolve to keep my eyes to the Heavens and for my to stay heart true.
