This very real tension is necessary to make us clarify our thinking, refine our laws, and stretch our humanity. Paul called this phenomenon “the folly of the cross,” where God took the worst thing...and made it into the best thing, the very redemption of the world. -- Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, May 9, 2025
I pray to the God of my understanding that what I am experiencing within me is my God not my wishful thinking...not my fantasyland to keep me from living God's will, God's way.
I feel, or hope, I am coming out the other side of a long and treacherous mental journey, i.e., today's world bugaboo, fear of dementia. My mind has been scrambled, blank, scared, calm, but thank You, I do believe always dependent on God's will, God's way.
I want and need to rely on the God of my understanding who...unbeknownst to me...it seems had made a turnabout within me, ever heading me in a new direction. I have felt all at sea, but I realize this is the way I am emerging into a higher consciousness...in gratitude and unearned grace.
Lord, I am feeling sleepy...too hard...want to go back to bed. I choose to stay the course. God can, will and is walking me through my necessary New World Order...not to get too high-flown about it.
My need is to perform the dailies of my life today...call audiologist to go and get hearing aids adjusted...my want is to think pretty words, stay put, and "rest."
Jesus, is this where I am being opened to You...Your just do it? Lord, hear my prayer...then golden goose me. Please and thank You.
Thank you.
