Liberation

 Prayer needs to move beyond debt-relief.  Yes, we can pray for forgiveness, and mercy for our past or even our present if bad-behavior  crops up.  But at some point we need to have prayers of liberation.  From what? From doubt.  Faith must have some doubt or it is not faith.  As we enter into deeper prayer, beyond the text books and steps of instruction, we will need faith.  But at some point we will wonder if this is making any sense, especially if few around us are on their own deepening path to discover of who they truly are.  So don’t try to escape doubt with activism, busyness, getting things done, being productive in such a way that prayer goes back to a few words of gratitude and then onto things that are simply a cover for fear of your doubts.  When you think nothing is there, you are right.  No Thing is here. You are in the right place.  You are no thing and you are all you need to be.
