Coming to prayer is like coming home,
"Nothing feels more right,
more like what we are created to be and to do.
Yet at the same time we are confronted with great mysteries.
Who hasn't struggled with the puzzle of unanswered prayer?
Who hasn't wondered how a finite person can commune
with the infinite Creator of the universe?
Who hasn't questioned whether prayer isn't merely
psychological manipulation after all?
We do our best, of course,
to answer these knotty questions but when all is said and done,
there is a sense in which these mysteries
remain unanswered and unanswerable . . ."
At such times we must learn to become comfortable with the mystery.
