Christians say be reverent, full of awe and humble. Listen, but not to the TV , when it's the other person's turn to talk. Realize that your ordinary human desires and fears are nothing special and that praying for direct supernatural intervention is more superstitious than spiritual. Be open to the Divine within yourself. Breathe it in and meditate on it.
Meditation can be an act of compassion for the community .
Be grateful for these revelations of the Divine. Acknowledge them and don't fall into the trap of measuring them against expectations. Look for them and the whole world looks better. Healthy people are grateful people. If you must have expectations, expect the Divine to show up when you're trudging The Path.
