This is where I'm at. A few months ago I prayed for the death of vain, egotistical, and misguided desires. I prayed for the death of paradigms that keep me locked in patterns of disbelief and a few other things. And of course, it's been a painful process to shed these patterns, but the hardest part has been the silence on God's end. I wondered why I couldn't seem to hear Him anymore. You articulated it perfectly. Based on my experience, I wasn't able to tap into that new frequency until my third heart-gushing, gut-wrenching, soul-intense prayer was offered, at which point I felt the Savior beside me. So it seems to me that to reach the Lord on a new frequency requires a greater effort (and faith) on our part. We have to reach out of the purging purifying pain, higher than we ever have, in order to connect on this new level. But then that's what raises us higher. This is a different way to look at trials than I have considered. Thank you. If you have any other thoughts on this specific vein I'd love to hear them. Perhaps another blog post? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985858969287915197.post-63886155987190153762016-05-25T20:07:30.061-06:002016-05-25T20:07:30.061-06:00Thank you for sharing your personal experience.
