God still loves you. Take that nervousness about whether you're going to succeed and whether you have enough money-take the whole thing up on that narrow beam and just fall off. That's one of the great values of reading the saints. They had this utter vulnerability to fail by human standards. We've talked a lot about prayer.
Prayer is to enter into that activity.
Take this room. Imagine you've never been out of it. Prayer is like going outside to see what's really there. The problem with describing prayer as speaking to God is that it implies we are still in control. But in listening, we let go.
