Why are so many of us reluctant to tell people that we pray? Why do we prefer to keep to ourselves our belief that something bigger, something we can’t explain, might just be guiding and helping us in life?
Yet, when you think about it, it’s really not that long ago that meditation was considered to be all too new agey and for hippy dippies. Today, it is an accepted and medically proven practice that we can all benefit from. Deepak Chopra refers to this so beautifully in the words, ‘prayer is for asking the questions and meditation is about listening for the answers’.
Looking back now, I see that I was much better able to ask them for help than I ever was to ask anyone in my life. When we pray, we simply hand over the desired outcome to something bigger than ourselves. We never feel like we are dumping on someone else or that we are looking for too much. I never shied from asking no matter how weak or helpless it made me look. That was my first example of the benefits of being vulnerable, I just didn’t recognise it.
