After his very long day in
Capernaum, Jesus felt the need to go off to pray alone. That sets us to
wondering to whom Jesus would pray, since we know he was the Second Person in
the Trinity.
Well, we must go on
wondering, since the Trinity is a mystery we humans could never
understand. We just know Jesus earnestly needed to pray.
Granted that, we wonder what
form his praying could have taken. Often, when you and I pray, we recite set
prayers. Like the saying goes, "We say our prayers." Sometimes,
though, we just try speaking directly to God.
Another good way for us to
pray is to take some fine words from the Scriptures, and then speak to God
about the meaning of those passages.
An example of that would be
to take Chapter One of John's Gospel. You take the phrases one at a time,
talking to God about each of them. What is the Bible telling in saying the
following, "The Word was with God, and the Word was God." "All
things came to be through him." "In him was Life, and the Life was
the light of the world."
