A Terrible Prayer... I have been terrible at praying. I forget. My mind wanders. I fall asleep. I don`t pray enough. I don`t understand what prayer is Or what it does. If prayer were school... I would flunk praying. But prayer isn`t school. It is mystery. Maybe the mystery is... Jesus loves terrible prayers. Maybe... When I can`t think of anything to say, He says what i can`t say. When I talk too much, He cherishes my too-many words. When I fall asleep, He holds me in His lap and caresses my weary soul. When I am overwhelmed with guilt at my inconsistent, inadequate praying. He whispers, "Your name is always on my lips". "Praying the Mystery" by Michael Yaconelli We were talking about praying at dinner a couple weeks ago. And then I was just doing some light reading before work today, and yea, I really liked this. I realize I stink at praying. Yet He still loves it. posted by jamescl | 11:37 PM
