Part of that is because my dad passed away, and I’ve been wading through the emotions and responsibilities that come with losing a parent and selling a house. Part of it is simply enjoying the summer and early-autumn sunshine here on our little Oregon farm. And part of it is because Lisa and I have been

“Prayer assumes need. “Prayer and helplessness are inseparable.”116 Jesus described this in a parable of two churchgoers in Luke 18.

I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income” (Luke 18:11-12). The other, a tax collector, prayed a simpler prayer: “God, be merciful to me, a sinner!” (Luke 18:13). The tax collector knew more about prayer than the religious leader did. Prayer requires a humble awareness of our need for God.”
