Mid-Week Musings : Take a vacation!
Be still and know that I am God': the Latin imperative for 'be still' is vacate. God invites us to take a holiday [vacation], to stop being God for a while, and let him be God. Too often we of prayer as a serious chore, something that must be scheduled around other appointments, shoe-horned in among other pressing activities. We miss the point. God is inviting us to take a break, to play truant. We can stop doing all those important things we have to do in our capacity as God, and leave it to him to be God. Prayer allows me to admit my failures, weaknesses and limitations to One who responds to human vulnerability with infinite mercy.
