Prayer Retreat

A pastor friend invited me and seven other ministers
to an overnight retreat for prayer and fellowship.

What a great time!

Nine people who all have started new congregations
or trained new worship leaders just spending time alone.

We'd pray or read by ourselves for three hours,
then talk in groups of threes for an hour,
then eat for an hour, then just relax
together talking about whatever.

It was very peaceful.

And with the prayers of the sponsoring congregation,
it felt like spending time alone with God
was the most valuable time on earth.

We really do hear God differently when we stop
to actually try and hear Him speak.
