Here’s the gist, human. There are countless scenes in the Bible when someone stopped and laid down a personal affirmation of God’s promise, the Messiah’s purpose, an affirmation of God’s nature, his promises. Moses. Joshua. Daniel. Martha. The woman at the well. The people Jesus healed. The apostle Paul. People who had come face to face with the truth. And proclaimed it. Affirmation of what we believe can do all kinds of things: change our direction, our minds, our decisions. In that moment when we find ourselves turning away, or choosing to sit in our own self-pride, our own pride infested self-talk, or perhaps a paralyzing spiritual stupor. As if we couldn’t remember one of God’s promises, as if we couldn’t recall one phrase that Jesus said, or muster even a mental comma to gain spiritual clarity.

But God knows us. In all of this earthy-ness we live in, he can tame our wild will for his purpose. By leaving our self-talk trail to live within his divine determination to make his home in our mind and heart.

In Romans 12:2 Paul says,

2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Here’s the gist, human. If we spend our daily life ruled by the answers we need from God, our prayers can give in to a self-guided perspective. How lonely. We were not created to be alone. God walked with Adam and Eve in the garden. Until.

A deep prayer life is not complicated. It is contemplative. Prayer is God’s answer before the answer before the answer. His call to come sit with him. Listen to his Word, reflect, respond, and sit in his presence. If the Word became flesh, and Jesus became our Savior then we should bring that Word into our prayer life. Imagine prayer like walking along the road to Emmaus with Jesus and the two men (believers) after he was resurrected, but before he ascended. The moments of silence when all you hear is his footsteps beside you. I want that.

Psalm 71

17 Since my youth, God, you have taught me,

and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.

18 Even when I am old and gray,

do not forsake me, my God,

till I declare your power to the next generation,

your mighty acts to all who are to come.

Here’s the gist, human. I find myself growing beyond spiritual ultimatums like “I am at peace” as if peace in God is a static condition. For me peace is a tributary of God’s nature, his spirit running through my heart. And I have to listen for it.

Moving water takes its cue from its Creator. God navigates our choices, our mental roadblocks, our psychological debris from the past, our grief, our fear of failure, our fear of anything, everything. It’s pretty clear. Rivers shape landscapes. This is why God turns our attention to it. So we can more deeply understand how he moves.

John 7:38

38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.
