Anyone who has heard God’s still, small voice \n nudging the soul has heard the word of God. The joyful sensation we feel in communion \n with other Christians is God working in us. God’s word can also come to us in the council of \n wise friends. There is something pure-and purifying- about receiving a word from God. \n When we have the ears to hear God speaking, the noise around us and within us is stilled”","bbox":{"left":0.058824,"top":0.16072,"width":0.878718,"height":0.164054}},{"text":"This was part of The August 28 reading from my Forward Day by Day. It really made me \n pause and think—about the times that I believe that I have experienced that small nudging \n voice. Mostly in times of personal distress or discomfort, when I mentally cried out in \n pain. In hindsight those nudgings were answers to my prayers- not always what I had \n prayed for- but an answer that fulfilled my needs in a different way. And I am very grateful \n for that. My prayer life has changed over the years-not always at night just as I’m off to \n sleep, but as the need arises; any time and any where. I no longer search for the “right” way \n to pray, using the “correct” language etc. God knows what is in our hearts and on our \n minds—so just go for it!","bbox":{"left":0.058824,"top":0.336778,"width":0.873123,"height":0.16057199999999994}},{"text":"I’m hopeful that after you read this, you also will pause and recognize those “ nudgings ” \n for what they are— the voice of God, reminding us that He is a daily presence in our lives. \n One of the closing prayers that I use when I take communion to our shut-ins says “open our \n ears that we may hear you.” \n May we all do just that.","bbox":{"left":0.058824,"top":0.509228,"width":0.8773569999999999,"height":0.08920699999999993}},{"text":"Peace,","bbox":{"left":0.058824,"top":0.616349,"width":0.05778699999999999,"height":0.01784399999999997}},{"text":"Georgeann Wright \n Liturgist","bbox":{"left":0.058824,"top":0.646046,"width":0.172852,"height":0.03572299999999995}}],"images_bbox":[{"left":0.270637,"top":0.689206,"width":0.388088,"height":0.235732},{"left":0.058824,"top":0.045455,"width":0.200964,"height":0.104924}],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[{"left":0.270637,"top":0.689206,"width":0.388088,"height":0.235732},{"left":0.058824,"top":0.045455,"width":0.200964,"height":0.104924}]}
