Sorry it took me so long to respond. I was reading Happy Are the Poor. The point that grabbed my attention was that the early experiences of contemplation only involve the will so they are full of distraction which is nice to know when one can't go 5 minutes without being distracted. Also that not feeling God's presence is normal and one doesn't have to scream and yell at God and have a hissy fit over it like I did when this happened before. And I am trying to do God's will all the time but I still pray dear Lord please open the doors You want me to go through and close the rest. Because that makes figuring things out unnecessary. And I am still getting regularly in prayer. Trust Me which He probably wouldn't be hitting me over the head with if I did trust Him.
