"...That's a picture of the fact that prayer is not something you always feel.
It's not a voice you always hear with these ears.
It's not always an insight that suddenly comes to you in your little mind.
(God's heart is greater than the human heart, God's mind is greater than the human mind, and God's light is so great that it might blind you and make you feel like you're in the night.)
But you have to pray.
You have to listen to the Voice who calls you the beloved..."
