Reflect: First order of business
“When we speak of responding to God in prayer … we do not mean an intellectual exercise of trying to discern our marching orders for the day (though he could direct us to specific actions … ). Our Father’s first order of business is not to assign tasks, but to transform hearts … His interest lies in the attitude or spirit with which we carry out even the smallest task. Not what we do, but how we do it matters most.”
[Andrew T. Hawkins, Whispers that Delight: Building a Listening-Centered Prayer Life]
