Mutating Missionary
God does not send us into the dangerous and exacting life of faith because we are qualified; He chooses in order to qualify us for what he wants us to be or do." Eugene Peterson
"Prayer is a radical conversion of all our mental processes because in prayer we move away from ourselves, our worries, preoccupation, and self-gratification - and direct all that we recognize as ours to God in the simple trust that through His love all will be made new." Henri Nouwen Prayer, the activity that appears to be inactive. Prayer, a time where I must put my schedules, my designs away and wait on His. Prayer, a place I come to understand: my ways are not His ways. Prayer, where the world's ideas and answers, the world's boxes, the world's cultural mores clash with HIM! Prayer where I am surprised by Him, I am gifted good gifts through my Father! Prayer – I find joy Prayer – I find peace Prayer – I find grace Prayer – I find love, perfect love.
