FOR YOU ARE MY GOD
There is a difference between prayer and theology. Most of us don’t think of ourselves as doing theology when we pray – and yet we are!
How we pray involves a preconception of the God with whom we are engaging. Is God a loving parent to us, or a merciful accountant? Is God an ATM we visit to supply our daily needs; a companion on the journey; the source of every good thing; or the one who best loves and understands us?
When you pray, take a moment to orient yourself toward the God you really believe in.
