My experiment needed to be conducted somewhere I could be entirely alone. the onlyplace i could think of was a Park or something, I ended up going to SharonWoods. I spent the first hour and a half out side. sitting, snaking on some bread and water. I was just too distracted be the cold to let my mind quiet itself. I walked around a bit, then sat in my car. which interesting enough was a quiet and comfortable place, to spend the next 3 hours.
I kept fonding myself wanting to ask God for things, and pursue issues. I tried to just allow my thoughts to go to Him. Giving my request and worrys a rest and allow God to wisper to me what he wanted me to hear.
The time i spent was different...I didnt get any revelations or hear any thunderus Voice of God, I think what I learned was I cant have a relationship with God if I am always talking and I need to trust God with my life, I think by praying I get a false sense that I am helping the situation. its like i start thinking well now I havent left it entirely in Gods hands, cause I had a part by praying.
I guess really my time was...fun. Me and God had fun. we didnt do anything, just had fun.
