Occupied.

Without faith it’s impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Normally, we don’t engage in conversations with an empty chair. 

But those who pray do so daily, some to scurrilous glances of onlookers. 

The supernatural exists. 

By definition it’s “beyond the scope of the natural world” and each prayer you offer is an acknowledgement that indeed, the supernatural exists, the chair is occupied, and that occupant attends to our voices. 

In practice, faith is belief beyond this visible, tangible existence and into the realm of the divine. 

It presumes a loving, caring being seated on a throne befitting his majesty and hanging on our every word. 

The chair is never empty.

Contrary to rules of the natural world, prayer expects no dialogue in return to verify the chair is occupied. 

Prayer transcends the natural and is heard and understood in all its content by the only heart, mind, and being capable of it.

So pull up a chair and tell your private story to the only one who hears, listens, and replies in ways, languages, and real world experiences that are supernatural. 

The chair is never empty.
