I’m not sure where I first read or heard the thought that prayer is relaxing into the mystery of being loved by God, but the essence of its meaning for me has remained. It gave me a different way to think and feel about prayer. I had always thought prayer was something you recited or petitions for needs, all of which certainly are forms of prayer. But this reflection on prayer seems to ask me just to be present. In this place I come to know that God loves me, even with a veil of uncertain mystery. Relaxing into the presence of the divine creates a space for relationship that God desires from me.
