One of the obstacles many face where prayer is concerned, is the question of "time." For many, lack of time, or little time, or no time, or another time etc are sure signs that our love for God is not our number one priority. When we truly love another person, we want to be with that person, we want to be together, to talk, to share, to give, to receive, to be embraced and comforted, to embrace and to comfort.
Prayer, a loving dialogue with our God, is a spiritual experience. The time factor is alien to this experience. In prayer, we must be present and in union with God now, as we will be when we leave this word.
In prayer, in loving union with God (Father, Son or Holy Spirit), we must experience a sense of eternity. That is why our preoccupation or concern about time is an obstruction to a loving union with our God.
To overcome this, we must never link prayer with time. Prayer must never be in the present for it then supposes a past and a future. When one approaches God to be with Him in prayer, this must be a leaving from time to the reality of "now." "Now" best expresses eternity. When we situate ourselves before God in the dimension of now, we leave the present, the past and the future. Nothing else matters but Us together, now.
We are with God now. We are in dialogue, in communion, in sharing, in a loving relationship, now. We experience a foretaste of eternity, now. There is no rush or pressure to be together for we have now to do everything and anything that needs to be done. With now, there is no past, present or future.
So, one of your very first steps in coming into God's presence (Father, Son or Holy Spirit, and indeed our blessed Mother or any of the angels and saints . . .) your first spiritual disposition, your spirit is to be in the "eternal moment of now."
