Spirituality: Giving voice to our Desires
If we receive the courage to voice our desires, the dialogue with Jesus or God can influence, correct, or illumine the misunderstood desire. Praying in such a way that we allow ourselves to be affected by God opens us to influence, to discovery, and to change. We keep on expressing our real desires until they are fulfilled, until they are changed, or until we are convinced God is responding to us.
