Be Found

God cannot be found by our searching as one searches for something hidden.  Such a search assumes we know what God looks like, and only need to look in the right place and there find God.  “Oh, there you are God,” as if we had some concrete notion of God.  Faith does not have an image or mental concept.  Those are the empty things religions argue over, and even kill to prove their concrete image is the correct one.  Prayer, if it goes deep enough, lets go of these infantile images, allows us not to find God but to be found by God.  Then we will come to know ourselves and say, “Oh, here I am.”
