Sometimes words get in the way of real prayer. 

Life is full of cycles, sometimes called seasons. The problem is we always feel as if we should be bursting forth with growth. There is a time to die.

Did you ever notice that stress doesn’t go away – it just changes form? That’s because the stress wants to change you.

If you let go of people, you can love them more because then they do not exist only to serve your purposes. They can then be what they were created to be, and you can love them for it. 

Getting older is not about putting yourself together more. It is about being taken apart, piece by piece, until you are finally on your knees in death. 

The pain is only yours. You cannot deposit it anywhere and no one can take it from you. You can only hope to have it transformed.

It is easy to get ahead of ourselves and God when we don’t believe that he will eventually speak.

Worry keeps us focused on our stuff, our plans, having things our way, and preserving everything that is OURS. To be drawn up into the Presence is to let go of all that. Sounds dangerous!
