On Sunday, a few of us from Claremont went to an event run by S.U Scotland called “Strictly Come Praying”. It’s an event run for those in P6-S6 (and the youth workers that lead them). Myself, Karen and Andy took 5 of our kids with us to Grangemouth.
There was a whole day of prayer stations, seminars, worship and talks. We even got a dinner too! I went last year to the event, and it was really good to be back at it and learn some more about Prayer – the one thing that many of us struggle to do and make time for.
The whole day was wonderful, especially seeing 200-plus young people all coming together to worship and learn how to pray. There were a couple of chances to be quiet and just pray, and it was during these quiet times that I really noticed the presence of God.
I love finding God in the quietness of prayer, or just sitting contemplating. The day really inspired me, and I’m gradually getting ‘better’ at praying and making a connection with God.
Elijah found God in the whisper in the wind; Jesus met God in the stillness of Gethsemane. It’s all about being quiet and opening your heart to hear the voice that said “Let there be light”.
God Bless, Morrison.
