Drawing Near

I have the great honor of teaming up with five other ladies who, like me, felt some accountability for daily personal prayer would be helpful. We span three countries. We are in a temporary partnership for six months, checking in with each other weekly to see how daily dedicated talking to God has gone; we are committed to taking at least ten minutes a day to pray alone while doing nothing else (no driving, no cooking, no laundry, etc.). it's unbelievably motivating for me to know someone is going to want to know something this specific. This was my check-in message this week:

> How's the praying going? It's been going steadily for me. Starting today I am trying a new focus on prayer being:
>> "Drawing near to God"
> "Seeking God"
> "Seeking Your Face"
> starting with some silence
>> And I like these quotes on prayer:
> "Hurry is the death of prayer"
> "Courage is fear that has said its prayers"
>> As I asked God this morning to help me draw near to Him, and to be my everything, and to fill me, I waited and felt the edge of Him - He is
> warm
> comforting
> rich
> full
> unafraid
> unworried
> wise beyond imagination
> deep, deep, deep
> caring
> intelligent
>> And so much more! The feast we have before us daily!!! I have been lacking in drawing near to Jesus in this way...want more.
>> And you?
> Love, Katherine
