Evening: Psalms 23, 27; Matthew 14:22-36
St. Paul taught: “Pray without ceasing.” Maybe he learned this from Jesus? After 5000 were fed, before he stilled the storm, Jesus ‘went up on the mountain by himself to pray.’ He prayed before, during and after significant events in his life. Jesus did not presume to act alone; he called on that Creative power from beyond human life whose will is done in us when we are open. The Creator’s power is not for our own wishes or whims. Which is why, taught by Jesus, we pray, “Your will (not ours) be done on earth” … and in us.
