Perhaps that is why people who have been married for 40 years look the same and can almost have a conversation without saying anything because they know exactly what the other will say. So, we too will be changed into the likeness of God as we spend time with Him. We will find that our heart begins to desire what He desires, breaks over the things that break God's heart. We do not pray to inform God, as if he was ignorant of events and of what we are thinking and feeling. Instead we pray 'Thy will be done' so that in our companionship with him we realy do begin to become radically different.
Prayer is the ultimate surrender of the self to the Other.
The closer we get to the light, the more sensitive we are to the darkness.
