Sensing God

Extracted from Exploring Prayer by Sue Mayfield:

Think and thank God for all these things:
Your favourite colour
Your favourite sound
Your favourite smell
Your favourite taste
Your favourite physical sensation

Now spend time thinking:
What colour is God?
What does God sound like?
What does God smell like?
What does God taste like?
What does God feel like?

Invite God to reveal Himself to you, and then you could conclude with the following prayer:

God of rainbows, we look for you.
God of waterfalls and whispers, we listen for you.
God of fragrance, we sense your presence.
God of salt and sweetness, we taste you and know that you are good.
God of strength and tenderness, touch our lives.
Amen.
