Dear Ebbie,

YES. What I experience, often, is that the prayer is the way we make our will known to God-- that we need to hear ourselves out loud to believe and commit ourselves to what we must, in order for Him to work with us and in us and through us to do what He has longed to do-- but which He will not force upon us in any way. We must be clear with ourtselves that we are willing to have BE what He will make SO.

It is a different view than one often assumed in the whole notion of prayer, eh? Lovely how we learn from it, when we do it.

Your MudSister,

Susan
