"Prayer is, at its heart, a remembering. We pray in order to remember who we are and who God is. In prayer we are able to see the bigger picture and know that we are in this world but not of it. Life on earth is temporary and fleeting, and while we are encouraged to make the most of our time here, in prayer we remember that our ultimate home is with God in heaven. It puts everything into perspective. As you continue your practice of prayer this Lent, allow the long view it offers to relieve your worry, ease your pain, and know that all is well."
I can get so wound up about the here and now, worrying about things out of my control. As I've mentioned in previous posts, I'm really focusing on letting go - it's amazing the peace that comes with this! I'm fortunate to be surrounded by a few people in my life right now who are really helping me with this. So I've been thinking a lot about the "big picture" and keeping things in perspective. At the end of the day, this life is but a blip on the screen of eternity.
