Prayers to know what meaning is

[joshrp]

Hi,

This may sound vague, but God will know what I am asking. I wanted to ask for prayers to Jesus asking Him to teach us what meaning is. So I guess I am asking God to teach us what the meaning of the word meaning is. I guess it is ironic but this is what God seemed to be saying to me to pray for when I was praying the Rosary just now. Please ask God to teach us how to know what He means when He says something to us, help us to know what we mean when we say or do something, know our own intentions and meanings and the intentions and meanings of other’s words and actions.

Thank you and God bless you greatly.
Joshua

Joshua, I understand. I struggle with what God’s Will is for me. I know that it is not to sin and practice virtue, but I don’t know the next right step.
I will pray.

Josh, sometimes the best way to approach God in prayer is in total silence, to simply listen more.

Sometimes, especially when my mind is noisy, I like to decrease into Ps 46:10, taking a breath at each phrase to meditate upon it:

“Be still, and know that I am God”
“Be still, and know that I AM”
“Be still, and know”
“Be still”
“Be”

Come to Him as an empty vessel, needing to be filled, and as a fire waiting to be lit.
