Worship

"Worship is a meeting at the center so that our lives are centered in God and not lived eccentrically…People who do not worship live in a vast shopping mall where they go from shop to shop, expending enormous sums of energy and making endless trips to meet first this need and then that appetite, this whim and that fancy. Life lurches from one partial satisfaction to another, interrupted by ditches of disappointment. Motion is fueled by successive illusions that purchasing this wardrobe, driving that car, eating this meal, drinking that beverage will center life and give coherence.” "Reversed Thunder" Eugene Peterson p. 60

Prayer

"Our culture puts severe limitations on the way we carry out our relatiosnhips, and the same cultural limitations can operate in prayer, unless we resist them. Prayer sends us into an expanding universe of relationships -with God, with others and also with ourselves. The journey inward, in self-reflection, the journey upward, with God, and the journey outward, alongside others, opens up our hearts to what one of the psalms describes as "those whose hearts are set on pilgrimage." It is the longest journey of our lives, from which we cannot go back. For it is no less than walking with God." James Houston, The Transforming Power of Prayer, p. 48
