• Mar. 20, 2006 - A Great Quote - Prayer
I've added the reading of a little book to my quiet time. It is a collection of prayer answers. Not prayers themselves, but God's answers to us. I've been reading the prayers till I come across one that speaks to me for the day. Here's todays, which I thought was perfect for all of you: You do not trust yourself to pray rightly. But there is no prayer I cannot hear. I know you voice. I know it as a shout or a whisper. I know it as a sigh or a moan. Any prayer is a prayer that reaches me. I am always listening for you...You are my creature. Your ways are known to me. I am attentive. You are in my care. Prayer reminds you, more than it does me, of our loving relationship. I love you always. I listen before you speak. You cannot pray a prayer I cannot hear. -- Julia Cameron, Answered Prayer (Julia Cameron is a controvertial writer when it comes to spirituality - she's not a traditional "Christian". I'm telling you this so you don't assume I'm blind to this controversy. That said, I find maybe one in ten (or less) "answers" or issues that I believe to be an error biblically speaking. But I've never found a traditional "Christian" error-less and so I choose to seek out the good and the blessing in her work (of which there is much) rather than discarding her at hand.) |
