A thought on Prayer
Prayer is as varied as the people who pray. Whether deeply faithful or just spiritually curious, most of us have prayed. For many of us it’s probably been a quick request or a desperate cry in crisis. While there’s nothing wrong with that, the hope of this practice is to help us see that prayer can be so much more.
Imagine being invited to a buffet but spending the night sipping tap water, unaware the feast was for you. That’s how we often approach prayer—settling for crumbs when it offers so much more. When I say “so much more,” I’m not talking about more stuff or things for us. I’m talking about partnering with God in bringing His Kingdom, seeing the miraculous, and watching Him change us and our world.
The incredible thing about this practice is that the Bible talks a lot about prayer. Jesus Himself models it and reveals His own prayers; prayers for others, prayers for healing, salvation, and “Your Kingdom come.” His prayers changed things and so can ours.
When we pray beyond ourselves, we don’t just seek change, we become it, as God changes both the world and us through prayer.
