More on Prayer

Unfortunately, in the West, prayer had become something functional;

something you did to achieve a desired effect—which too often puts the

ego back in charge. As soon as you make prayer a way to get what you

want, you’re not moving into any kind of new state of consciousness.

It’s the same old consciousness, but now well disguised: “How can I

get God to do what I want God to do?” It’s the egocentric self

deciding what it needs, but now, instead of just manipulating everybody

else, it tries to manipulate God.               Richard Rohr

Wait!

What am I doing?

OK, God

Let’s just sit here for a while

And hold hands

then let's talk
