It is easy to become confined by our prayers. We say these words at those times and at that place in the morning or before a meal or at this point in the Sunday service. Prayer slips into a faithful practice when it was meant to be the core substance of a faith-filled life. That's the point of this book-to shake us free from a dutiful prayer life and launch us into a more expansive life of prayer.
Jesus is calling his disciples beyond a mere prayer life and into an unbounded life of prayer. He wants to lead us to a radical kind of intimacy with God and each other that becomes the very labor and delivery room of the kingdom-the birthplace of
divine love in the world. It's the place where prayer and justice and mercy and faith become inextricably intermingled and unleashed like a flood-tide onto a parched land. While prayer may not be the secret formula to a great awakening, we can be
assured it paves the only pathway that will lead us there.
