we say... “Somedays I don’t believe any of this..."
re-imaging our idea of what prayer is.....
A believer is someone who is skeptical that we are all on our own.
This skepticism is grounded in the daily witness of a simple yet sacred intentionality.
To have eyes to see is to practice looking deeply in all that is and observe the Hands of Providence woven throughout all of it.
To believe is to trust that the dynamics of our incarnation are not to be worked out solely on our own…
but are the very invitation to participate with God’s loving intentionality.
We pray not because we always have the perspective to believe this.
We pray because we’ve learned that this is the way in which we grow into this perspective.
This is a series of images and meditations I put together to “re-image” our idea of what prayer can be. I think we often feel like we fail at prayer because we can’t accomplish the internal image of what we think prayer is (hands clasped on a mountain at sunset for example). I put this altogether in a series of posters called Teach Us To Pray.
