Real

Hey, Y'all,

We're back to Yancey's book on prayer in today's thought--check it out...and BTW, you've been prayed for today.

"The prayer preceding all prayers is this:
May it be the real I who speaks.
May it be the real Thou that I speak to."
C.S. Lewis

Sometimes I wonder if the words I use are the least important part of prayer. Who am I? Who am I really? Who is God? Who is He really? If I can answer those questions, the words I pray recede in importance.

Prayer invites me to lower my defenses and
present the self that no other person fully knows
to the God who already knows.
