Prayer is Personal
Issues easily imprison; a person can set free. Issues easily divide us; a person can unite. Issues easily exhaust; a person can give rest. Issues easily destroy; a person can offer new life. Despair is caused by orientation toward issues, but hope emerges when we direct ourselves with heart and mind to the person of a saving God. That is prayer.
Apart from me you can do nothing; those who dwell in me as I dwell in them, bear much fruit.
- John 15:5
Reflection Question: How might you exchange a preoccupation with issues for attention to your relationship with a saving God?
