We experience God through the way he acts in our lives, in our selves. For few people, these experiences are mystical; but for most of us we can experience God through subtle ways in our everyday life. So be attentive to what God wants to tell you each day. Wait for his message, for his words of correction. He may speak to us when we least expect. And keep track of these experiences, so you can praise Him and thank Him. The most common way that God speaks to us is through His Scriptures. “When you read, God is speaking to you” (St. Augustine On Psalm 85,7). So make it a habit to listen to his word every day. Get to know His Words. Read them slowly and often.
I was inspired by Fr. Laurie Mooney, O.S.A.’s talks on prayer.
