A revelation. Prayer is God speaks in me not me talking to Her. By the attention paid and time spent in prayer, we allow God to make herself known to our consciousness and for her to bring our attention to the sufferings in the world. We petition to God for mercy for the injustice and the prejudice done to our fellow human beings, not knowing it’s god who brought our attention to these matters so we can have compassion and empathy for those who are suffering. Gods mercy is abound and she does not need me to remind her to be merciful. It is me who she tries to open the minds eyes not to dwell on our own trivial moods and needs to pay attention to others around us and in the world. To connect to the body that is god in our prayer. The body that is made of all those who has god in their center and practice the presence.
Henri opened my eyes in his diary. From his struggle, I learned about myself. And through him, god continues to talk to those that read his book. He has made himself a vessel tho he thought he was only fighting his own spiritual battle, he is revealing god to his readers long after his physical body passed on.
