In a monastery just outside Madrid last week God spoke to me. I was part of God-charged gathering with 24 nations present at the 24-7 Prayer Euro gathering.

According to the clock in my kitchen it is half eleven and it has been for the last four months. It tends to baffle our guests who come for dinner. We’re in a time of year where everyone seems up to their eyeballs in to-do lists and essays are coming in thick and fast. Time is thin on the ground. What are...
