I hadn't thought of the Lord's Prayer in this way, but I think you're onto something. Someone taught me that the original Aramaic of the prayer translates to something closer to, "lead me not into forgetfulness, but deliver me from unripeness" which I think really speaks to what you are saying about presence and letting things unfold in God's timing. I think the book Prayers of the Cosmos talks about the Aramaic version of the Lord's Prayer.
That was so nourishing, I live in constant anxiety! Knowing that you have this diagnosis and can surrender like this gives me so much hope and mystifies me…. How would I live in your situation? 😢You truly are tethered to the divine!
A beautiful reminder, Tyler. I relate so much: chronically ill mother & bapticostal rapture cult, etc. left me forever scared, scarred, and ready to leave and Everything with a sense of URGENCY. i.e. third Substack Note with coffee? Um...yes?
Cuz we may not have tomorrow, smh Ty for sharing your beloved heart.
Thank you for this. On my journey, I’ve also found to be helpful: https://www.amazon.ca/Jean-Pierre-De-Caussade/e/B000APA7US/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1The Sacrament of the Present Moment: A Classic Jesuit Masterwork on Spiritual Enlightenment and Abandonment to God.
