I find it puzzling when a minister says, “Let us prepare ourselves for a time for prayer,” or, “It is time for our period of meditation.” I know that many who attend church are already in a mental status of semi-prayer when they enter, but most, sadly, are not.
I don’t know what it means to pray constantly, but I do know what Jesus says about praying to God:
“Father, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread,
and forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation.”
I cannot say that I pray constantly, but I do know that I love constantly. When Jesus asks that the second greatest commandment is to love others as ourselves, I accept that as gospel. So much so that it comes as an automatic when I meet someone new. I haven’t a care in the world as I choose to live in the glory of God, being a rainbow of love.
P.S. I love you. And I pray you love others.
Love is God’s symphony, the perfect beauty!
