Everything in this world is either a sign or a sample or a symbol of God. The universe is diaphanous. The world is crammed with God. In every person or event met prayerfully, there's an overriding, transcendent, unconditional character that is captured in these words of the prophet, "Thus saith the Lord." In every situation the man or woman of prayer is aware of being addressed, claimed and sustained.
