mini-breakthru

God is always around me, but praying seems to make myself more aware of him being close by. Praying is definitely not going thru the laundry list; yet during the course of using the laundry list to make conversation with Him, a different "dialogue" emerges from the background to the foreground. When I tune to that other dialogue, the sense of God's presence is increasingly felt and the experience turns sweeter than before. I begin to understand why some people can spend so much praying.
