Prayer Allows Us To Wait Without Worry.

Skeptics Would Rather, Even At Their Own Expense, Appear To Be Right Than Take The Risk Of Trusting.

If We Do Not Become Changed From The Inside-out - If We Don't Morph - We Will Be Tempted To Find External Methods To Satisfy Our Need To Feel That We're Different From Those Outside The Faith. If We Cannot Be Transformed, We Will Settle For Being Informed Or Conformed.

As Long As We Have Unsolved Problems, Unfulfilled Desires, And A Mustard Seed Of Faith, We Have All We Need For A Vibrant Prayer Life.

In The Beginning, We're Told, Was The Word. Every Once In A While Someone Shows Up On The Planet Who Is Word-obsessed And Word-gifted; And The Light And Darkness Get Named Again. In Our Day, That Someone Is Buechner.

Who You Become While You're Waiting Is As Important As What You're Waiting For.
