Yesterday I spent most of the day in Annapolis on a prayer retreat. I found my way to the WWII memorial on the Severn River. It is absolutely beautiful, and the architect did a fantastic job of making the site a hallowed place of sober reflection for the sacrifice of Maryland in the war effort. It also happens to make a fantastic altar of prayer. In the last couple months I have really found a close relationship with God and enjoyed a special personal connection with Him. My personal devotional life has been stronger and more vibrant than any time I can remember. So yesterday's prayer meeting was special. Special because of what I heard and learned, because of what He showed me.
I want to encourage you that if you're in a place where you need to hear from God, then find some time to be quiet and alone with Him. Obviously I have an advantage because of the nature of my job to have time to pray, but even in your home in the morning or evening find some time to get away and pray. God is speaking.
