Keeping God

Once we have discovered this new power inside ourselves, we need to be disciplined to keep in touch with it. There are times when prayer is a call, it is joy and we feel drawn towards it. It is a warm light, it is communion and rest. But there are other times when this hidden God hides himself once more behind our anguish, fear and need to prove ourselves. Then we have to be disciplined and to place ourselves again and again before and in the heart of this hidden God, and to cry out for help..
