Prayer is...

"Prayer is a leap into the dark. It is casting oneself into an abyss; it is 'running naked into the sea' as Ruysbroeck puts it. We let ourselves drop into the fast-flowing current of the Holy Spirit, without knowing or caring where it will take us. Prayer is the greatest of all adventures; it is a journey or voyage; a quest, fascinating and unpredictable, because it leads us into the supreme mystery which is the mystery of God. In prayer we lose all and find all. It is both the journey, food for the journey, and the journey's end."

(The Path of Life, pages 101-2)

  1. Hello Marlene. I am a Pastor from Mumbai India. I am glad to stop by your profile on the blogger and the blog post. I am also blessed and feel privilegegd and honoured to get connected with you as well as know you as a child of God and about your interest in painting and travelling and more than that godly things. I like when you say "Prayer is the greatest of all adventures and also "in Prayer we lose all and find all". I am encouraged by your blog post on What Prayer is: I love getting connected with the people of God around the globe to be encouraged strengthened and praying for one another. I have been in the Pastoral ministry for last 41 yrs in this great city of Mumbai a city with a great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the brokenhearted. We also encourage young and the adults from the west to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We would love to have you come to Mumbai to work with us during your vacation time. I am sure you will have a life changing experience. My email id is: dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede.
