I’ve been reading about prayer.
People realize that we have a need. A need to pray. We realize we can’t do it all.
Our prayers tend towards being comfortable. We like security. We want our cancers to be healed. We like the idea that we will be prosperous.
The further I walk in a journey with God, the more we realize those prayers should not be primary in our lives.
Imagine taking the prayer – God, let me die – and praying it each day.
If I was dying I would inherit humility. I would inherit service of others. I would inherit the reality that I am not really all that I think I am.
I think I like that inheritance. I’m not so sure I like the prayer to die!
