Prayer is such a difficult concept for me. Since my idea of God doesn’t include a being up in the sky who influences our lives and chooses to act or not to act, what is the purpose of prayer anyway? So most of the time I don’t admit, even to myself, that I am praying – I think of it as meditating. Or I don’t name it at all.
But then, every once in a while, there comes a moment of insight. Prayer as an activity putting me in a mindset which enables me to connect to something beyond myself, leaving myself behind. Then the light comes on, ever so briefly. This morning, walking with Coco, was that kind of moment. So I prayed – Christ over me, Christ under me, Christ beside me, on my left and on my right. Christ within me and without. Christ in heart, Christ in mouth. Christ beside me, on my left and my right. Christ as light.
May the deep desire expressed over and over in those words be realized today in my relationship with others. Wish me luck.
