This is powerful! "They asked for things from the very context of Jesus’ presence. They learned prayer by experiencing Him first." Thankful for these insights and wisdom.

That way, I believe, is the way of beholding - our learning to simply gaze lovingly into God as he gazes lovingly into us from the very depth of our being, unceasingly. It’s silent but full, ordinary but supernatural, quiet but with a deep burning, wordless yet saying everything. It’s unceasing prayer because it’s life in the Spirit who never leaves us and who groans from within. It’s the refreshing spring from which all other prayer flows.

It’s love.

I had to copy this excerpt from this article. May the Lord have mercy on this lost soul caught up in the transactionalism & the flat out tiredness of doing prayer that Beholding my Lord as He yearns for me to allow Him experience Him beholding me.
