Sybil MacBeth quote #245 from Praying in Color: Drawing a New Path to God

..when someone says please pray for me they are not just saying lets have lunch sometime. They are issuing an invitation into the depths of their lives and their humanity- and often with some urgency. And worry is not a substitute for prayer. Worry is a starting place but not a staying place. Worry invites me into prayer. As a staying place worry can be self-indulgent paralyzing draining and controlling. When I take worry into prayer it doesnt disappear but it becomes smaller.
