Consider Everything to Be Yourself

Saturday 19 October 2024

Does Prayer Objectify God?

A man speaks of his morning runs, filled with gratitude for the world and his body’s ability. He prays in thanks to God but wonders if he limits his experience by objectifying God. Rupert says abiding as being is the highest prayer, where the distinction between self and God dissolves – there is only God’s infinite being. This is the highest surrender. Yet, Rupert adds, this doesn’t prevent us from thanking God for something, everything, or even asking for something. These forms of prayer are not incompatible with abiding as being.
