Speak Your Heart to God

Bishop Fenelon

Regarding prayer: in times of fervor your heart will easily pour out of its abundance. But what shall you say in seasons of dryness, coldness, weariness? Still say what you have in your heart. Tell God that you no longer find his love within you, that you feel a terrible void, that he wearies you, that his presence does not move you, that you would fain leave him for the lowest amusements…Tell him all the evil that you know of yourself. In telling him all your troubles you will be asking him to cure them.
