Today we heard the writer of the First letter to Timothy talk about prayer: for whom we should pray and how we should pray. We considered that our life on earth is defined by power and power differential. We impact God’s active power in the world through our prayer; prayer has as much power as wealth (not only money but influence, imagination, and education). We are called to pray for leaders, ourselves, and others; to give thanks; and to offer the “hardest” prayer – to ask God to do what God finds best in our community and in our life. Our invitation is to ask for what we hope for – for us and for others; to pray for peaceable and well guided leaders. The only way to get better in our prayers is to pray. What do you think?
