from angry conversations with god, p. 4: "from the moment i could sing 'jesus loves me', i knew the words were true. maybe i was just given the gift of faith the way some people get perfect pitch. but i believed in the god of the bible and in jesus, his son. of course, i also believed in santa claus and the tooth fairy. but while those childhood myths died away for lack of evidence, my belief in jesus gained momentum. one afternoon when i was about eight, i was standing in the backyard playing catch with our dog, and i got the sense that jesus was standing there with me. he didn't say 'i died for you so go help your mom set the table'. i just sensed he wanted me to know he was there. and knowing he was there, i felt loved."
for some people, prayer has always been an active part of their faith from as far back as they can remember. or maybe an active prayer life came later as a daily spiritual tool. my question is this: how has prayer worked for you? do you receive answers to all or some? if you do, how do you know? has prayer been seasonal or constant? how do you discern whether or not god is listening, much less answering?
