Prayer

Wanting his presence more than the answers

Prayer runs through nearly every episode, but Jimmy and Suzi are more interested in what prayer does in us than in treating it as a way to get God to deliver. They talk about wanting his presence more than the answers to their piercing questions, about being wooed back to prayer when their hearts go cold, and about the stillness it takes for a holy God to bend down and speak.

In their words

“He doesn't fall asleep on the watch with me. That's what I really want to know more than the answers to my piercing questions.”

— Suzi, Ep 089

“When I get that feeling of iciness towards God, I pull back. I find it difficult to pray. But what I have found is that he is constantly wooing me back to him. Trust me, I will provide. Don't be anxious. I love you. Hold on to me and my love for you will never change. I'm not going anywhere.”

— Suzi, Ep 068

“That God bends down to speak to me. The holy God bends down. And I realized too that in order for him to bend down, I have to be still enough for him to.”

— Suzi, Ep 099
