Monk on a Mission: Abbot Dan Nobles on Contemplative Prayer (Part 2)
Why do we do anything? We do it because God wants to have a relationship with us.
So we look to see: Where is he working? What’s he doing? We pray for eyes to be able to see it and ears to hear his voice. If we do that and join him where he’s at, there’s relationship rather than, “I’m praying for him to bless my plans.”
God has his plans. God is God. I’m not.
He’s not a genie that I can rub in the bottle. He’s God.
So my plans are nothing. His plans are perfect.
If I can trust him, I can have that blessing of relationship with him. That’s cruciform life.
