- R = Repent. Come honest. Where have you been running on your own power? Where have you shut him out? You don't clean up before you sit down.
- A = Ask. Bring your needs. Physical, relational, spiritual. But notice where this comes in the order. You're not leading with your wish list.
- Y = Yield. Stop talking. Start listening. Open your hands and say, God, I've told you what I want. Now I want to hear what you want. And then sit in the silence.
