Where Prayer Begins

Before prayer is about thanking or asking; before prayer is about interceding or protecting, before prayer is about making a difference in our world, prayer is about loving God. Even as a young Jewish boy, Jesus began each day by loving God as he said the Shema. This simple but profound prayer can keep us deeply connected, surrendered, trusting, and loving God. What will help you to stop long enough to love your God with your all?
