I wrote about how this came about a few weeks ago in the blog post\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kerstinhack.de\/en\/believe-2\/you-can-learn-to-work-wonders\/\" target=\"_blank\">Learning to work miracles<\/a>\u00a0described.<\/p>\n<p>I'm not interested in sensationalism - even though I think it's pretty cool when people get out of wheelchairs and chronic pain or skin rashes disappear. Jesus did this all the time. So did his disciples. I believe that he still wants to do it today. For people. He does mighty things on his own - because he is God. And he wants us to take part in his trade - because he calls us his friends.<\/p>\n<p>The training there will involve a lot of Bible study and reading and practical challenges. In addition to this, I want to consciously practise opening my heart more deeply to Jesus. I am currently reading <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/3940538221\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=2514&amp;creative=9386&amp;creativeASIN=3940538221&amp;link_code=as3&amp;tag=downtoearth-21&amp;linkId=W5S6T3VV5I4HB334\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Prayer as an encounter<\/a> by Charles Bello and Kristian Reschke. There are instructions for the so-called Examen - a spiritual practice by Ignatius of Loyoloa.<\/p>\n<p>He recommends asking prayerfully at the end of the day:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What was the strongest moment of encouragement today? (When was I most alive today?)<\/li>\n<li>What was the most devastating moment today? (When was I least alive today?)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And then to retrace these moments and ask God what exactly made me perceive the moment as so special. And what he wants to show me.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the wonderful book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/0809135795\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=2514&amp;creative=9386&amp;creativeASIN=0809135795&amp;link_code=as3&amp;tag=downtoearth-21&amp;linkId=BZLFQTZKWWBZYWHK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Sleeping with Bread<\/a>, which also introduces the practice of daily reflection, I did this for a while. But not with the aspect of then asking Jesus even more deeply what exactly it was that moved me.  Here I want to go deeper in my encounter with him and love him.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/down-to-earth.de\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/1\/image\/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95\/n\/o\/notizbuch_stille-gedanken.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"290\" height=\"290\" \/>I will be taking my favourite beautifully designed notebook Silent Thoughts with me, which I love because it has no lines but delicate dots... and great quotes!!!
