God just graced me with an amazing reality. I know nothing.

I have learned so much over the years of being a Christian, but I have just realized that I haven't even scratched the surface. At Intro to IHOP, they are tweaking my brain. I thought I knew how to pray. I think it is a process, a cycle even. When we first begin our walk with God, we KNOW that we don't know how to pray. We ask people to teach us how to pray, but only until the last year or so have I begun to ask Holy Spirit to teach me how to pray. Then we learn some stuff and we think we've arrived. Then God just breaks us down again and we realize that we know nothing. That's OK though, because that means that He wants to teach me something new. Something I do know is that I cannot get caught up in clinging to what I thought I knew, but at the same time realizing that some of it is valid and useful, depending on the circumstances.

Not only have I realized that I don't know as much as a thought I did about prayer, I am completely overwhelmed with wanting to know and understand more about the Bible, driven by the revelation that I don't have any.

So, where do I start? The only thing I can truly think of is to just lay down and soak in His presence until He gives me the next step.
