1) The author highlights these words from Psalm 139, “O Lord, you have searched me and known me”
(p. 122). Does it help you, or frighten you, to think about God knowing you so intimately? How do you respond to the idea of a “friendship with God?”
2) Fr. Martin notes that the more common ways of hearing God in prayer is listening carefully to emotions, insights, memories, feelings, physical feelings, desires, and incommunicable experiences. Which of these have you experienced in prayer? How do you try to listen to God in your prayer?
3) In this era of cell phones, laptops, and endless gadgetry, we are, as Fr. Martin writes, “gradually losing the art of silence” (p. 141). How can you create silence in your life?
