Your Tears Are Prayers, Too. #GMfaves

He chose you. Love chose you to wake up. It chose you to pray ceaselessly. To Hear, ceaselessly. Your silence is prayer. Your mantra is prayer. This Love you feel is prayer. Your tears are prayers. And in every moment they're answered, 'Here I Am'. I Love you, Nik nikki@curlynikki.com ******God is afoot! I’m writing, and working on something BIG (and very useful) for your practice!

Then the Devil said, 'Hey! Mr Gullible! How comes you've been calling all night And never once heard Allah say, 'Here, I am'? You call out so earnestly and, in reply, what? I'II tell you what. Nothing!' The man suddenly felt empty and abandoned. Depressed, he threw himself on the ground And fell into a deep sleep. In a dream, he met Abraham, who asked, 'Why are you regretting praising Allah?' The man said, 'I called and called But Allah never replied, 'Here I am.' Abraham explained, 'Allah has said, 'Your calling my name is My reply. Your longing for Me is My message to you. All your attempts to reach Me Are in reality My attempts to reach you. Your fear and love are a noose to catch Me. In the silence surrounding every call of 'Allah' Waits a thousand replies of 'Here I am.'" -Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi (r.a.) "To run, you must first walk. To walk, you must first stand. To stand, you must first crawl. To crawl, you must first be held. Start where you are." - @corymuscara "When you feel your peace slipping away and anxiety rushing in, stand firm and remember that Jesus has given you His peace." -Joyce Meyer "Your tears are prayers, too. " -@speakholyspirit "God will give you a Peace that makes no sense." - @michelles_losing_it "The principal thing is to stand before God with the mind in the heart, and to go on standing before Him unceasingly day and night, until the end of life" -(Bishop Theophan, quoted by Kallistos Ware in The Power of the Name: The Jesus Prayer in Orthodox Spirituality) "When you are tempted, recognize that a crown is being prepared for you." -St. John Chrysostom
