That best is surely love. What a difference it would make to our lives if we really allowed ourselves to give and appreciate love. Our relationship with ourselves and others would be so much more meaningful. We have to live with the everyday with strife and disappointments. Prayer is not mainly about asking or even telling God anything-it is the desire for and the experience of participating in the deepest realms of life.
Prayer is an opportunity to experience humility and recognise grace.
For prayer we need stillness and through inner quiet and meditation do we have the power to restore clarity to our being. I can understand the need for this too in my life. Tzedekah strictly means doing what is right although it is often translated as charity. It actually expresses the desire to contribute to life. We are inspired to do what is right through our sense of justice and our feelings of compassion.
