And sometimes we feel that life is against us like that king with 10,000 facing 20,000. But in those moments of pain, sometimes fearful and dreadful moments of pain, let us remember that Jesus is with us. He is our brother since our baptism. He too suffered pain, physical, mental, emotional and psychological. In our moments of pain, when we suddenly realize that we can t complete the tower or the king facing us is too strong for us, let us turn to Jesus in prayer.
Prayer is the best way to solve any problem.
Of course we also need to talk, seek advice, consult with others. But if we don t pray, we won t get very far. We can t make it on our own. Life is too complex now to be lived without God. I am absolutely convinced that it is because of prayer that the peace process in the North has made such progress.
