“When you pray, rather let your heart be without words
than your words without heart.”
- John Bunyan
than your words without heart.”
- John Bunyan
Sometimes when I pray, I'm saying a lot of words. I have my "script" if you will. Thank you for this and that, I pray for this...etc.
What if I had a conversation with a friend that way? (Note: I have and it's kind of sucky as a friend.) Example:
Me: "Yes, friend, I understand what you're saying and I'm sorry to...wait, what was I saying? I was distracted by the upper right hand corner of the wall and/or was trying to decide what to eat for dinner."
That's no good. So, sometimes it's better to just quiet my heart and not force myself to say all the right words right away.
