Head Dump: Prayer 9

Well, this is not exactly a head dump. But I ran across this on The Anchoress's blog as part of a review of a book by Amy Wellborn:

"For those who practice lectio divina, or prayerful reading, the book is rich with those short lines of scripture or insight which connect in an immediate and visceral way, and one feels prompted by the Holy Spirit to “linger on this thought, today…pray over this." [see link below]

Since I am not, by background, a Roman Catholic, I have never run into this as a separate spiritual discipline or exercise. I have had this happen. And I have practiced this as part of what my pastor calls "waiting on the Lord."
