Touch Point: Open Handed Prayer
Compiled By Matthew E. Scott, M.Div. Leadership Transformations, Inc.
Opening our hands to God is no simple task. For in doing so, we are opening ourselves to be led by God to a place we would rather not go—a place of vulnerability. Prayer is not merely offering requests to God. To pray means that we open up our clenched fists. The following quotes from Henri Nouwen will help you move towards a posture of open-handedness.

Touch Point: Order of Love
Compiled By Kevin M. Antlitz, M.Div., Th M. Leadership Transformations, Inc.

Touch Point: Peterson on Prayer
Compiled By Kevin M. Antlitz, M.Div., Th M. Leadership Transformations, Inc.
“Prayer is not something we think up to get God’s attention or enlist his favor. Prayer is answering speech. The first word is God’s word. Prayer is a human word and is never the first word, never the primary word, never the initiating and shaping word simply because we are never first, never primary. We do not honor prayer by treating it as something that it is not, even when that something is, as we suppose, sacred and exalted…”.
