1.7.20 – Daily Dose of Worship. A study on prayer. Part 52. Forsaken?
DEVOTION: “The “hiddenness” of God perhaps presses most painfully on those who are in another way nearest to Him, and therefore God Himself, made man, will of all men be by God most forsaken?” (pg 151) I don’t really know what to say about this sentence but I knew that it was worth pointing out.…

DEVOTION: “I suppose the normal next step, after self examination, repentance and restitution, is to make your Communion; and then to continue as well as you can, praying as well as you can…and fulfilling your daily duties as well as you can.” (Pg 133) Pretty basic. But….it provides hope. Hope that the way we pray…

DEVOTION: “Our struggle is, isn’t it, to achieve and retain faith on a lower level. To believe that whether He can grant them or not, God will listen to our prayers, will take them into account. Even to go on believing that this is a Listener at all. For as the situation grows more and…

DEVOTION: “For it is not so much of our time and so much of our attention that God demands; it is not even all our time and all our attention: it is ourselves.” (Pg 101) Surrender. Once again this word rises to the surface. It’s such a stern and wonderful reminder here. We can give…

DEVOTION: “Our real protection is to be sought elsewhere; in common Christian usage, in moral theology, in steady rational thinking, in the advice of good friends and good books, and (if need be) in a skilled spiritual director. Swimming lessons are better than a lifeline to the shore.” (Pg 100) Swimming lessons are better than…
