Morning Prayer
I pray: God; Your will be done.
and nothing else.
I stand silently, but I never let any previous notions about what God is, or what God's plan is for the world, or any other such nonsense intervene. I do not meditate that God is good, God is great, God is the alpha and the omega, God bless America, God help us!....nothing.
I don't look at pictures of praying hands, little angels, solicitous mothers, or solitary individuals walking down a lonesome road...nothing.
I don't dream of divine paradoxes to instill in myself a sense of wonder. My being alive after my life so far is enough of a wonder for me.
I refuse to define God. If I define God, I am writing a screenplay for how God is supposed to act in "The God Show".
(There are certain similarities to the concept Nirvana in obstinate silence.)
By acting as Jehovah's screenwriter, I am substituting my will for God's.
God; Your will be done.
