Those who receive the Lord’s blessing are those who, in their lives, can pay attention to the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the ill, and the imprisoned. It turns out that, unwittingly, they had all along been attending to God in Christ.
Prayer, in its implicit form, is the act of attention to realities that are before us. By such acts, we attend, indirectly, to God. Through such acts, God’s very self is made known to us, and we are thus more able to pray explicitly.
This is an excerpt from the book Vision and Character by Craig R. Dykstra.
