As you studied Luke 24:13-32, what impressed you most about the idea of bringing divine dialogue with you throughout your entire day?
-
Bringing divine dialogue with you throughout your day just shows our believe that we have an ever-present God who is with us listens, and answers/responds to us . Continuous Communion .

How about when it does not provide any impression with me? The thought of two-way communication through prayer and Bible reading does not impress me unfortunately. I consider it the same as communicating through Apps, e-mails, text messages, letter writing, social medias, or any such related similar methods. I heard a few journalists complaining how it has become lesser and lesser personable or how less meaningful communications through all the advanced technology compared to the more familiar telephone calls, in-person face to face, or voice messages to the methods nowadays. Well, this is how I feel about the communications and any interactions with God unfortunately. Long had it been the feelings. Currently, this Bible study or ODB paths are the same, we are all on our own doing our own spiritual relationship in God using loaded resources, never truly knowing any body directly at ODB, always kept and maintained strictly at a distance, all similar as to ceremonial occasions formal events, those may be for concerns of safety, but with God, too? Or any other church brothers or sisters, we are all unknown to each other truly, just another fish as any other overcrowded amount of fishes in the vast ocean. Apologies I feel unlike your many other participants, all with warmth or praises and stuff? I am thankful for all the benefits still. Just it is truly, the way we get to interact with God now, only through Bible or prayer, are so empty and impersonal. Imagine having to speak to my Dad or Mom in this way. Never seeing them in person, always reading their letters, not ever hearing their voices, only then, getting to write to them or communicating with any of them through the maid or a neighbor? I realize getting to even have my requests or messages related to my Dad or Mother in this way is a privilege already which I am thankful for the opportunity. But is it truly very distant and cold to me personally? Truly frustrating. Overwhelming too. Why I feel this way? Likely I should not? Maybe only me feeling this way personally? Whether I share the true thoughts or hide it by pretending to be nothing but all praises too, I could had responded differently to look good, to be accepting, but it would not be how it is truly inside of me or how I truly feel or what responses I truly have of your question. I must be such bad sheep to God in his eyes so, I am punished and not given any blessings for having these feelings for being who ever I am with such thoughts

What impressed me most about bringing the divine dialogue with me throughout my day is seemingly daunting as sinner trying to be as perfect as possible for an entire time when trying. Being naturally prone to sinning, whatever we do we are not able to do with our own strength, relying or depending on our own self, it may be more difficult. Along with we may fail at it. But the comfort remains that we try as much as may be able to be done, in what ever we do. Being divine, holy, pure, perfect all the time are not easy states we may remain in for long times, trying to be any or all of these during most times, much more through our all day long

What I learned is that a person can get so distracted with various things throughout their day and he or she can MISS THE DEVINE DIALOGUE.

I have dialogue with God 24/7 every day. He’s always there to help me, to keep me going, and to congratulate me. With Him all things are possible.
