She also has to decide if the dilapidated barn and vintage merry go round she was awarded in the divorce settlement is a blessing or a bane. However, her life quickly turns into a three ring circus: her hypochondriac father moves in, her ex is using her shower when she’s not home, and her perky assistant is pushing her out into the fearsome dating world. I received a copy of Prayer of Quiet in exchange for my honest review.When Lauren divorces her husband, she has one thought on her mind… I also see this book as an excellent gift idea. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is tired of the noise inside of their minds and is looking for a way to peacefully commune with God. Adorned with beautiful, peace and relaxation-inducing photos, it was a wonderfully refreshing change of reading pace for me. Prayer of Quiet is a short, instructional read which outlines the steps for quieting the mind so that the voice of God can be clear and evident. It was an experience that was long overdue. It had been a while since I'd quieted myself and purposefully listened for His voice. I often hear from God, but usually, in the midst of chaos.
That quote hit me right in the spirit like a ton of bricks. I never imagined that God might have something to say to me." "I talked to God daily-and that's exactly what I did. What is missing is the soft, still voice of God. But even with that routine intact, I sometimes find that something is missing and I know I'm not alone in that feeling. My days without Bible and prayer are often nightmares-literally. It centers me and keeps me from becoming overwhelmed as the day progresses. With so much already in my mind, is there room for anything else?Īs a Christian, I make time to read the Bible and pray every morning. I find myself facing that dilemma quite often.
It is easy for the busy-ness of our lives and the noise inside of our heads to overwhelm us, and it is very difficult for us to find time to calm ourselves. Hence, your mind is crowded with thoughts-thoughts of what the day ahead holds for you, thoughts of what must be done, what should've been done and so on and so forth. Your life is filled with tasks, obligations, and "to do" lists. If you are anything like me, you are a multi-tasker by necessity.
