To know that you can go to God without feeling judged or accused is the only reason why you continue to go to Him. If this is clear in your mind, then you can also go to Him without filters, without masks, in other words in honesty.
If you manage to do that for some time and you continue to do it, you begin to realize that you can also face reality as it is around you without much judgment as well. It's not easy and few arrive there. But when you do you stop criticizing, blocking and counting everything.
Why is this kind of prayer difficult? Because we are used to our judgmental mind. Only contemplative prayer will help you think differently. Our thinking is usually about what we like and what we prefer and struggles with what we do not like. Very narcissistic indeed. But that’s the way we are.
The day we stop being judgmental, compartmental, that day God finds a new empty space in us and finds the chance to get through us. That day the truth is revealed to us. That day we discover God has no problem dwelling in us. You will realize, then, that your way of thinking is changed, the way you see God and understand God is changed, and the way you see what is around you will also be changed. You will be born again!
