A Worthy Saying Regarding Enemies
For those of you who aren’t familiar with her, I encourage you to subscribe to the podcast or listen on the radio to “Speaking of Faith” with host Krista Tippet. The following quote was part of a very intriguing episode on prayer. I was incredibly humbled by this one. It’s by one of the “Desert Fathers”.
“If a man wants God to hear his prayer quickly, then before he prays for anything else, even his own soul, when he stands and stretches out his hands towards God, he must pray with all his heart for his enemies. Through this action, God will hear everything that he asks.” Abba Zeno
Thank you, Abba Zeno. Touché. I’ll be holding onto this meditation for a while.
