Our minds naturally lean towards chaos. I have begun a prayer life I am proud of. It began by recognizing my own personal mess in my subconscious. Just like an avid birder, I try to stay quiet and observe my own intuitive thoughts and behaviors. Like a third person looking inside my soul, I analyze how I feel and where my thoughts turn into weapons, I use against myself.
When the waves of perception are quieted, they can no longer distort God’s voice in my life. My prayer life grows deep and powerful.
The key is not in controlling the radical thoughts, but more importantly being able to identify them and pick them out in a line-up. Putting a name and face to your attacker liberates and heals. It also imprisons them, not allowing them to continue to do harm.
When God’s communication is reveled to us unaffected by our basic view, His purpose for the world and our perception align. The world feels bright and understanding seems clear. The true power of God is seen and felt, changing everything.
