Meditation reading for Friday May 17, 2024
PRAYER —
“He who prays best does not know that he is praying.” — St. Anthony of Padua
Prayer at its best is an attitude, an awareness of God’s presence. It’s a feeling that we are not alone, no matter where we are or what we’re doing. It is a thankfulness, a silent appreciation of and communion with our source.
Most of all, prayer is stepping back and letting go. It is a conscious awareness that we are the instruments of God’s will, that our greatest fulfillment and satisfaction come in letting that will—not ours—prevail. The best prayer is remembering that our self-will consistently gets us into trouble and that listening for God’s will is the way out.
My prayer today is to give up my self-will and remember God.
