Waste time with Jesus

I'm spending some time in Toronto this week, learning about 'soaking prayer'.

Soaking prayer is a form of contemplative prayer. You put yourself in an attitude of stillness, focusing on Jesus and open to the Holy Spirit but with no requests or agenda. The aim is to be still in God’s presence, to “waste time with Jesus.”

Here is a good article about soaking prayer in the magazine 'Christianity and Renewal'. It sounds a couple notes of caution but is basically very positive about the effects of soaking prayer.
