All of the Above

I don't consider myself particularly religious, but I do try to do right by my Catholic upbringing. In that respect, whenever I go to hear mass, I look forward to getting some time to think and reflect upon what's going on in my life.

Sometimes, however, I find it hard to do just that. I kneel down to pray and realize I don't even know where to begin. In those instances, maybe out of frustration if not resignation, my default starting point is "All of the Above."

Oddly enough, it helps. For me anyway. When it does, the momentary peace that comes over me makes me realize what a wonderful and powerful thing it is to have faith.

Thanks for that very sincere sharing. In my experience, I also find myself unworthy before Him. But then again, I'm always reminded that God loved us first, and we don't need to do anything to deserve such love. Any act of generosity and kindness on our part is already our expression of gratitude for the One who loved us first, unconditionally.
