Problems with Devotion

There are two ways we can speak to Christ. The first is very positive. We have a feeling that he hears us and have a real experience of knowing he is present with us. The second way is when we feel that he is far away from us. This type of prayer is like the Lamentation Psalms where we are saying “Where are You?” We don’t really “feel” that God hears us, but we believe He does with our faith. The most important thing about any prayer is to be sure that we are LISTENING. One problem with some particular “devotions” is that we may be listening to and possible praying to ourselves! There is nothing wrong with the devotion, but with our disposition to hear God speak to us.
