dear god
Rev Dr Durrell Watkins
“…God has
become for many progressives an ‘inner voice’, a ‘presence
within the human
consciousness’ that underpins life and enables humans
to live well, justly
and compassionately…Prayer is more like thinking
things through with God in
mind…than addressing a God ‘out there’ with
needs, worries, fears, and
hopes.” James Veitch
New Zealand theologian James Veitch gives a clear
understanding of
how some of us understand words like “God” and “prayer.”
Rather than a
cosmic judge, a Santa Claus for adults, or a puppet master
pulling the
strings to make things happen in our lives, God is the word I
use for
ultimate reality, beauty, mystery, infinite love, the energy of
life, “a
presence within the human consciousness.” And when I am focused on
the many aspects I name with the single word “God”, I am praying and
such prayer often leads me to discover, create, attract, or move toward
amazing blessings in life.
As I ponder the meaning and mysteries of
life, I am worshiping; I
am praying. And so it is.
