“To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world.”
~ Karl Barth
Sometimes prayer is a hunger. It is a hunger for a more felt experience of God. Sometimes it is a waiting. Sometimes prayer is a willingness to sit with God in a willingness to help God bear the pain of the world.
Prayer is never to be judged by or measured by results. “Did it work?”
“Did I leave prayer time feeling better?”
Prayer can be a stillness or an inner attention to what is going on inside of us. God can respond by gently speaking to us in our thoughts, our feelings and our body.
Sometimes I have been grateful for a new awareness that came in prayer.
What difference will prayer make in your life this Lent? You have a lifetime to answer. And the answer is your life.
