prayer scraps



A few [very] scattered thoughts on prayer...

----
prayer beyond communication and into communion
---
not simplified to merely thinking about God or talking to God -- prayer as being with God
---
for people who depend upon verbal ability... prayers of short and simple truths that sink in deeply
---
mental preoccupations becoming prayer
---
"prayer is our work and our work is prayer"
---
prayer that allows the Holy Spirit to pray in me
---
in the midst of chaos, a heart at rest in prayer
---
rhythms of life as spaces for prayer
---

These scraps of ideas might crystallize before I lead a workshop on prayer as a spiritual discipline next Saturday... or they might not, and that's probably just as well.

If you're in the area and want to spend time exploring spiritual disciplines in preparation for Lent, come to JKPC on Saturday, 2/6, 9:00-12:30 (childcare provided).
