THE PHONE IS

RINGING!

All progress in prayer is

an answer to prayer, our

own or anothersIn

every act of prayer wehave already begun to do

Gods will, for which,

above all things, we pray.

The prayer within all

prayer is, Thy will be

done (Forsyth 1954)

Prayer is Gods crowning

gift. Yet prayer is our

main work these two facts

must always be held

together. Praying is our

way of keeping contact

with God. He made prayer

possible when he came as

one of us to live with us

and to die and be raised

for us. He is always

available, always.

Sometimes, usually in

untroubled times, we take

this for granted. In these

times our prayers often

become a kind of chit

chat-expressing our views

and feelings. Often we

grow sentimental and tend

to romanticise.

This kind of praying,

though not what we would

call vital prayer, is just fine

wi th God. H is main

concern is that we keep

communica t ion l ines

open. Sometimes we use

telephone just to hear a

friends or loved ones

voice, after all.

When pleasant t imes

cease , and we a re

besieged by bad newsa

death, an accident, amoral lapse, a defeat, a

frightening doctors report,

loss of a jobwe must not

panic and say Where is

God now? He is where

he was in pleasant days,

at the other end of the

telephone line.

In such times, if we listenclosely, our phone is

ringing. God is calling. He

is saying to us. I am as

near as breathing. Keep

talking to me. My grace is

still sufficient.

K e e p t a l k i n g a n d

listening. He has not

changed or moved away.

His will is what we let Him

love us, that we His arms

hold us, and that we let

His mercy wash away our

sins and fears.

His will is that we hear

Him calling us, by name.

Rejoice always, pray

constantly (1 Thess.

5:16-17)

May our good God bless

you all,

With prayerful regards,

Mothy Achen
