simply “Thy kingdom come—today!” but also “My precious Lord, I want to be often and long alone with You.” I realized how much I had changed when an Episcopalian priest asked me, “When do you feel like you can be yourself?” “In the woods, when I’m alone with my Lord,” I said. That wouldn’t have been true earlier in my life. Every Christian needs other Christians to point out new possibilities of faith and growth. None of us are self-sufficient spiritual machines who completely understand the Christian life.
