Pray for what God wants!

"God always wants more than what you can wish for...
You have the chance to transform these wishes into prayer.
'Father, you know what is best for me. Fill my longing with your Holy Spirit.'"
Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen, "This is the Day the Lord Has Made"

This was so right-on for me this morning! Our wishes and dreams can only be this big...(put your index finger and thumb about an inch apart). But God, who knows the Big Picture, can give us so much more than our dreams can imagine! Like we learned from the feeding of the five thousand in Sunday's Gospel, Jesus can take the little we have and multiple it by a gazillion...providing so much more than we come with--or even think we can attain. Today, let's not limit ourselves by praying for what we want, but let's pray for what God wants to give us--infinitely more! Love, heidi
