Art of prayer

© Chuck Hoffman / Genesis + Art Studio
FROM OUR JOURNAL PAGES:

Rain waters the earth, making it bring forth and sprout…. The whole creation is groaning in travail… A sower went out to sow. We are reminded that prayer is not a lifestyle option, or a mechanical technique, but something natural to all creatures, like breathing out and breathing in, like metabolizing our food, like the process of growth which we achieve without knowing how we do it. In moments of crisis, when we feel ourselves on the edge of existence, we reach out to our creator. We do not engineer our growth – in the body or the spirit – but allow God to make us fertile.
