Prayer is indispensable for spiritual discernment, because it allows us to enter into <em>intimacy with the Lord<\/em>, to be his friends, and thus to be able to recognize what pleases him. This intimate or familial relationship with God also helps us to ward off <em>the fears<\/em> and<em> doubts<\/em> that can trouble our hearts when we set out to fulfill his will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that discernment is not easy, because we are not machines that receive instructions and carry them out, but people. And in people&#8217;s lives there are often so many types of obstacles, especially emotional ones. We see this in the case of the rich young man, who wanted to follow Jesus, but had his heart divided between Him and riches. In the end he opted for riches, even if this left him sad. Therefore, it is necessary to be friends of Jesus, to be open to His grace, so that He may help us to overcome difficulties and to follow Him with joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>In the life of Mother Candida<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How easy it is to find Mother Candida speaking of prayer and how easy, even more so, to find testimonies of her familiarity with the Lord!
