How to Pray Quietly

If scripture seems to be so toxic, there might be other ways to sneak around the back. Try once a day reading the whole of Isaiah 40 to 55 and then go straight through until you're almost bored with it. Or try that with the letter to the Romans. Most of us don't read the Bible in large chunks like that. The Bible was not written to be read in little bits. Just forget all that stuff and just let it come over you and drown you and see what happens. There is no automatic way. But I think the other thing is, I bet in the same town where this poor man is, there will be some churches, maybe different traditions with some wise pastors
