  1. I am a day long pray-er…I start in the quiet still of the morning but never quite get to finish before my wonderful distractions awake..then I get more peace while prepping lunch but only for a moment before the “I’m hungry” cries distract again…most days around dinner I remember to meet with him again and am always blissfully interrupted :) at bedtime in my bed, in the quiet anxiety of tomorrow’s to do list that I can finally finish my prayer from the morning. Thank you for Sharing that I am not alone :)

  2. This is so timely for me, Shannon. Just this morning, I was talking with God, with my mind wandering all over the place. I was feeling frustrated about it, and telling Him so. This wandering-of-thoughts thing is the new normal for me, and has been for quite some time. I know you get that!

    I remember past seasons when I had long, uninterrupted stretches of prayer time. It was intense. Full of deep thoughts and words, passionate. Seems the majority of my prayer life in this present season is a continual babble throughout my days and nights, full of interruptions, including my own disrupting thoughts. But you know? My prayer life in this present season is no less holy and effective than my past-seasons prayer life. He knows, He hears, He cares, and He’s here. After all, He is the One who gave me this present season.

  3. Ah Shannon, my soul sister! I relate to this post so very much. “Conversation with God is constantly interrupted, and yet, not so – because He’s right there, unoffended by the activity of daily life.” I SO needed to read that today!!

    By the way, it’s uncanny that nearly every book you quote is a favourite of mine, and resides in my treasured home library! It’s freaky – in the best possible way!
