Book Cover & Preview Text
We interact with humanity through communication. Communication is not only about conveying words to another. Approximately ninety percent of communication is non-verbal, which means our emotions, body language, tone of voice and frame of mind play a big part in how we deliver and process information. When everyone is thinking on the same wavelength, understanding flows, and it makes communicating easy. However life is not always that way. It can be problematic when we don’t communicate well with each other. Faulty communications can lead to misunderstandings, unwanted tension and create conflict. Good communication is peaceful, fosters feelings of well-being and promotes a sense of oneness among the communicators. Effective communication is the glue that helps us deepen our connections to others, and enables us to convey even difficult messages without creating conflict or destroying trust. So how can you ensure that you are communicating effectively? One of the things that I do is to repeat what the other person said to me in my own words to ensure that I understood them correctly. That way, if I have misinterpreted what they said to me, they can correct me right there and then. Effective communication is paramount if we are to see the results that we want to see in our lives. Prayer is our way of communicating with Heaven. We see how important this practice is in Jesus’ life as he prayed often to His Heavenly Father. The disciples, seeing his devotion to prayer, and the power that flowed from Him as a result asked him, “Lord teach us to pray.” (Luke 11:1) Clear, effective communication is as important in the spiritual as it is in the natural. Even more so. Therefore when we pray our prayers have to be specific if we want to see the right results.
