When we pray to God we must be seeking nothing - nothing. ~Saint Francis of AssisiThis quote really struck something in me when I first read it. What am I expecting when I pray? Am I expecting God to say yes? Am I expecting God to move in some way after listening to my long wish list?Or...do I go to Him without those pesky expectations? Allowing Him to be God.
