THE CIRCLE OF PRAYER
Prayer moves in a continuous circle, from God to you; then from you to God. You will never know for sure who actually began a specific period of prayer. What you feel in your heart that impelled you to pray may have been proceeded by the secret prompting of God.
Yet prayer, like language itself, truly begins in God, streams from the word, which flows eternally between the beloved and the lover, right along with the love itself. Prayers, like love songs, are generated in the unseen, gravity-like field of Spirit between you and the beloved, God. Thus, melodies and prayers represent mutual life, the holy “rubbing” of your soul over against God’s Spirit. Prayer like music does not merely flow through us: it also arouses us, plays with us, interacts with us such that the prayer event itself can change us, as well as the prayer content. The Psalms are replete with examples of the psalmist starting at one place in the opening verses of the psalm, and ending in an entirely different, typically better place by the end.
