Like Joni, I too wonder where prayers go. But I have an even more
fundamental question that I'd be curious to get responses to. What is
prayer? Is it a plea for help? Is it something memorized and recited? Is it
a state of awareness? Do you need all 3 of these ingredients to make a
prayer? Are some prayers better than others?
I've often said that faith is the ability to lean on absolutely nothing at
all. I know some of you may disagree with that, that you have to have faith
in something.
Do you think prayer might be that ability to be still? Could prayer actually
be absolute silence? Maybe making your own inner voices silent, and then
letting hope, joy, love, and strength spring from that?
I often think I'm too small in the great scheme of things to even begin to
understand any answers. Maybe all I can do is ask questions.
lots of love
Anne
