The Practice of the Presence of God

How could one not be enamored and inspired by such a lovely account of an extraordinary man. Rarely have I felt the raptures he speaks of- but I pray I know them more and more each passing day.

“I prayed for wonders instead of happiness, and You gave them to me.” —Abraham Joshua Heschel

Listened to the audio for church book club - barely over an hour and 15 minutes, and entirely epistolary. Main takeaway was that it's pointless to feel guilt for the time NOT spent with God, or guilt for being distracted during prayer, but rather that any time you can spend will be a delight to God, who is always near. Looking forward to hearing what book club thinks.
