Pastor Jeffrey looks at several Bible passages where Jesus discusses the nature of prayer, especially the story of the tax collector (in Luke 18:9-14) desperately praying for God’s absolution. Jeffrey suggests that this kind of openness, this reaching out – perhaps without even saying a word – is the essence of prayer.
We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent and God is shining through it all the time … in people and in things. Don’t just seek to know about God, but to know God.” -Thomas Merton
