Rain

Praying in the rain this morning, I was struck by the overwhelming need of the world for prayer.  It truly became as if the world was weeping all around me, and I was so little, I could do nothing for her solace or comfort.  Prayer is like a balm for the world's wounds, because those wounds are from selfishness, sorrow, and sin.  The world needs a savior, one who can heal these things, one who is Love. Prayer begins in turning from our selves to Him, it is taking that first step away from self.  That is why the world cannot get enough prayer, we are so unwilling to step away from our selves.
