To pray is to practice that posture of radical trust in God’s grace—and to participate in perhaps the most radical movement of all, which is the movement of God’s Love. --Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, November 6, 2024
Looking back to the morning of November 6th, to the re-election of Mr. Trump to the presidency, I realize the words To pray is to practice that posture of radical trust in God’s grace mean more than I could wholly comprehend.
Who's kidding whom? I am still a little loose in the instep with the concept much less the words.
Speaking entirely in general, I believe, I do believe, yes indeedy.
However, and that is a rather large however, speaking specifically about me practicing that posture of radical trust in God's grace in re Donald J. Trump...much less as president of the United States of America...well enough said. Admittedly, a considerable part of my today's animus is in relation to what he has already shown as president-elect.
Father, forgive me, help me, hear my prayer...I am living in the wreckage of the future as I foresee it...the need is not for DJT, but for SFC, i.e., me.
Who is most in need of God's radical grace right now? The person who does not seem to have a clue about spiritual growth, or the person who practices still more spiritual growth daily and comes up judgy, snarky and entirely unrepentant? Asked and answered...thank You.
It is not Lord, hear my prayer, it is Self, your prayers have been answered, now do the answer: God's will, God's way.
Comes now spiritual growth to my rescue: Hold your nose and take a leap of faith. Thank You.
Thank you.
