Soaking Prayer - Charismatic (Isaiah 40:31)
In charismatic circles, "soaking prayer" means simply resting in God's presence—no agenda, no requests, just waiting. Worship music plays; people lie on the floor; the Spirit ministers. Critics call it passive; practitioners call it transformative. "Those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength." Waiting isn't empty; it's receptive. The eagle doesn't create the thermal—it positions itself to receive it. Are you positioning yourself to receive? Sometimes the most powerful prayer is simply showing up and waiting.
