Prayer is a waiting. Waiting, places the emphasis on the other person who is coming. I can only wait for this person. To wait is to express my powerlessness, my insufficiency, and that is my attitude towards god. I cannot force god to come. All I can do this wait and be present. To pray means to lose my grip. I am no longer in control when I pray. God is in control he will come when he thinks it is time to come. Prayer is the courage to listen, to give up my self- determination…In simply waiting for God, I admit that God is important to my life. I cannot be without him.
