FINDING LIFE - 1/16/15 - We might be wasting time and breath in prayer - asking God to fix that situation or that person. Even asking God to come and make God-Presence known, as if God were sleeping, or on vacation. Apparently, many of us still see the primary purpose of prayer as being that of convincing God to fix things and people in accordance with OUR will. CHANGE me - Dear God - change ME. And the very first thing that needs to change in me is my duplicity: The presumption that You can or should change something in me, or about me, that Im not willing to willingly surrender, unlearn, die to. I can resent You all day long for not doing it, but until Im willing, I fear that I will likewise resent You if you do. Lord, help me. Only as I recognize and embrace this spirit in ME, can I begin to be equipped to intercede as to benefit others. Then, it will be less about interceding FOR them, but interceding TO them, that I might be willing to participate, rather than merely appropriate. if you ask me to pray FOR you, that will probably not so much involve me speaking to God about you. It will mean that I carry an awareness of you around with me, always close to my consciousness - as I also endeavor to keep my own conscious awareness ever oriented toward God - attuned to ABBAs EverPresence. I literally carry your life with me as a shadow - finitely, and within my human limitations - feebly mimicking Infinite, Limitless ABBA, who carries us each and all in The Presence, Ever and Always. Blessings and Peace.
