We
often have a kind of notion, as part of this highfalutin, noble picture of
ourselves as pray-ers, that when we pray we need to be completely attentive and
we need to be fully engaged and we need to be concentrating and we need to be
focused. But the fact is, if prayer is our end of a relationship with God, that's
not the way we are with the people we love a large portion of the time. We
simply are in their presence. We're going about our lives at the same time in
each other's presence, aware and sustained by each other, but not much more
than that… However we are, however we think we ought to be in prayer, the fact
is we just need to show up and do the best we can do. It's like being in a
family.
