scripture

I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.  I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.   I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.

Ephesians 1.16-20

reflection

“If the worth of our prayer life depended upon the maintenance of a constant high level of feeling or understanding, we would be in a dangerous place…. Even when our heart is cold and our mind is dim, prayer is still possible to us…. The determined fixing of our will upon God, and pressing toward him steadily and without deflection, this is the very center and the art of prayer.”

Evelyn Underhill, The Essentials of Mysticism
