Just reread the quote by Jenny Sawyer that Jennifer included in her post entitled “Greetings.” It’s worth rereading. It gets “us” right. Here it is:
As we pray about a problem, it’s easy to think that we’re making something happen, or causing God to do something for us. But that’s not what prayer does. What prayer does is help us wake up to what’s already true, what’s already in place. It clears away the doubt and fear so we can see that everything God made is just as intact as it’s always been. When you see this clearly, it’s an “aha” moment—and an adjustment in your thoughts and life inevitably follows.
It reminds me of Jesus’ great Commandment. And the important guidance of that Commandment for the safety and progress of our life when we get it right, and for the healing of our world.
Jesus’ Great Commandment:
“Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
“ Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
“This is the first and great commandment.
“And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
“On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”*
….led me to two great Questions:
What is the God that man knows and loves?
And
What is the man that God knows and loves?
In your Morning Moment, you might ponder….
*Matt. 22:36-40
