A Spiritual Prayer

A Spiritual Prayer of Great Humility. The Author knew the Order of Service Book very well and had put much thought into its components. Before communion, the parish says “We do not presume to come to your table…” this theme runs through this prayer. “Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today…” Unity of everyone present, this theme is also very prevalent in this prayer. Notice how Thomas talks to God in a conversational mode. There is no doubt in my mind that God is very real for Thomas. Thomas is talking to a real actual spiritual energy. At the present time, the Author is not certain about what path he treads. The future he states is very uncertain. The only constant in his life is the presence of God. This is a man who lives in the NOW in faith that whatever comes then “All will be well.” This is a great prayer which I commend to you for daily utterance. Not because God needs to hear it but because you will remind yourself daily how very fortunate that you are.
