Soak
in God's Presence Soaking Prayer Soaking is intimate time spent with Christ. It's you and I enjoying just being with Him. It's about returning to our first love. There's a deep need in every one of us to be close to God/Goddess. Experiencing God is something to be sought after. While we base our theology on God's Word, our experiences with God make it all come alive. The Bible is a book of experiences of men and women of God throughout history, whose lives were changed through divine encounter. Your life will be changed as you encounter Him. How do you `Soak'? It's about resting Gods presence, so a good idea is to put on a meditational or worship CD, and sit or lie down so you are at rest, and let the Holy Spirit come and minister to you. Pray simple prayers like "I open my heart to you Father/Mother God, come and say what you want to speak to me, and refresh me with your Holy Spirit." Give all your concerns and cares to him, and let your Heavenly Father fill you with peace and joy. It's not about striving in prayer, but instead resting. The longer you spend in His presence the more you will receive from Him, so take more than 15 minutes at a time.Definitions: Soak to become thoroughly wet or saturated by immersion, to drink excessively, to take in, to soak up.
