Praying Together
Wednesday after Ascension Sunday
Acts 20:28-38; John 17:11-19
One essential characteristic of people of God is the quality of praying together! Jesus and Paul lead the people of God into prayer. Prayer is fixing God at the centre of our lives - both personal and collective. Both Paul and Jesus seem to suggest to us yet another important fact about common prayer: when every individual places God at an unquestionably central place in his or her life, the entire community would have God at the centre of its existence. Whereas the other way around is not so warranted. Merely because I belong to a community or a family or an organisation that has God at the centre, I cannot take for granted that God is at the centre of my life too! Does that set us thinking...
