Prayer in mid-air
Originally published in the 2010 anthology “Step by step: learning to trust God”
Shortly after joining the army, I volunteered for military parachute training, and after passing the qualification tests, had a wait of a few weeks before the course started. Although a volunteer, I felt nervous about this undertaking, and decided to study the 91st Psalm, the “Psalm of Safety” that I had learned in Sunday School.
The first verse is, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Now, the way I read that was, I want to “abide under the shadow of the Almighty,” and the precondition for that to happen is that I dwell in “the secret place of the most High.” And to dwell in “the secret place of the most High” is to acknowledge God’s presence and allness, everywhere, all the time, no matter what may seem to be happening around you, and no matter what circumstances you find yourself in.
