God has given us the Disciplines of the spiritual life as a means of receiving his grace. The Disciplines allow us to place ourselves before God so that he can transform us.

Prayer is - listening for the still small voice of God. Listening with the "ear of our hearts."

When we determine to dwell on the good and excellent things in life, we will be so full of those things that they will tend to swallow our problems.
