The retreatant has seen that there is really no other response to life that does God justice. The word implies not coming up with a new idea completely out of our own creativity, but clarifying things so that we can see and understand something that's already in place: what God wants us to do. The third class wants to get rid of the attachment to the money, which they, like the others, know is a burden standing in the way. Jesus said, "Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. The truth is, most of us will inevitably face circumstances in our lives that are beyond our control. One of the primary themes of the Spiritual Exercises is that of attachments and affections. Many of us can probably think back to a time in church, at a Bible study, or some other small gathering when somebody asked if anyone in the group had a prayer request. Take everything to the lord in prayer. The paralyzing fear of a bad medical prognosis, an acute illness, the death of a loved one, the stress of unexpected financial obligations, and the list could go on and on. The more you roll this prayer around in your soul, and the more you think about it, the more radical it is revealed to be. Give me Thy love and Thy grace, for this is sufficient for me. Take It to the Lord in Prayer.
We pray believing God will answer, and we pray knowing that His answer may not be the one we expect. Is this sounding familiar at all? Take Lord, receive... Lyrics to take it to the lord in prayer team. His Spiritual Exercises, written over a couple of decades in the mid-sixteenth century and used by hundreds of thousands in the centuries since, is essentially the structure of a personal retreat dedicated to discernment of God's will in one's life.
If you had asked me just a few weeks ago to interpret the meaning of this hymn, I might have tried to draw a parallel between these words and relationship — or friendship– with Christ. This retreat can take as long as thirty days, and one of its last elements is this prayer: Take Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Or I could give in to my lifelong fascination with infant linguistic development, and get into graduate school. It's the fruit of self-reflection and of openness to God's love. In a word, they are the free ones. What is the gift you give to God? For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them (Matthew 18:19–20, NIV). Lyrics to take it to the lord in prayer by patrick lundy. " Take Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Adapted from The Words We Pray. It's not a formula for easy decision making that we can adopt one morning after a lifetime of making decisions based on other, more prosaic or even selfish reasoning. Taking "it" to the Lord in prayer, as the hymn suggests, does not mean that you are admitting defeat. Although it doesn't use the word, the Suscipe is, in the end, about love. We might as well trudge down the road more traveled, might as well watch the same channel out of two hundred every night, might as well keep sending our kids to the same lousy school even though we know it's lousy, might as well keep going to the same dreadful job even though we suspect it just might be leaching our soul away, might as well just turn our backs from the choices in the baskets completely and start sifting the sawdust through our fingers again—that's a whole lot easier.
I could announce that I'm going to nursing school, for example. For believers, prayer is more than just a few sentences we recite as a family meal. If we're wondering what to do with our lives, or even with the next fifteen minutes, the Suscipe is a wonderful prayer to fall back on. It's called the Suscipe, Latin for "take, " and even if you haven't prayed it before it might be familiar to you from a contemporary hymn sung in Catholic churches called, not surprisingly, "Take Lord, Receive" and composed by, of course, a Jesuit. We may live in a time and place that allows us much freedom and choice, but there are times when we think it's too much. St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, or the Jesuits, is really the king of discernment in the Catholic tradition. I believe this hymn highlights one of the essential spiritual disciplines of every Christian — prayer! As humans, there is a real and unfortunate tendency to minimize the importance of prayer. And all can respond. In the Gospels, Jesus instructs us to pray, and he even leaves us a model, which we call The Lord's Prayer, to use when we pray. Decision making is hard. Three Things That Will Happen as You Pray.
The prayer "Take Lord, receive" is possible only because the retreatant has opened himself to the reality of who God is, what God's purpose is for humanity, and what God has done for him in a particularly intense way. A Response to God's Love. The Apostle Paul writes in Philippians 4:6–7: Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 3) Prayer will unite you with other believers. What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! In this model of prayer, Jesus teaches us to submit our will to the Father and ask for His will to be done.
When Jesus was teaching on prayer, he prayed, "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:9–10, NIV). " Well, God didn't institute religious life in the second chapter of Genesis. The first class would really like to rid themselves of the attachment, but the hour of death comes, and they haven't even tried. Love, in other words, moves us to give to the one we love. We may think of this type of imaginative prayer as a new thing or even outside the Christian tradition. I think at times our resolve wanes because we cannot always see the physical evidence that prayer is working; however, the writer of Hebrews says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1, NKJV). " The Catholic spiritual tradition calls decision making "discernment. "
If I wanted to, I could do something that addresses my yearning to do something more concretely practical to help other people. Excerpt adapted from The Words We Pray by Amy Welborn. In ages past, and probably in the minds of some of us still, that gift of self to God, putting oneself totally at God's disposal, is possible only for people called to a vowed religious life. Ignatius offers the account of "three classes of men" who have been given a sum of money, and who all want to rid themselves of it because they know their attachment to this worldly good impedes their salvation. In our "progressive" culture it has even become offensive to offer thoughts and prayers to someone who is hurting. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. But they make no stipulations as to how this attachment is relinquished; they are indifferent about the method. In this particular contemplation during the fourth and final week of the Exercises, the retreatant is called to ponder God's love. It's not, and St. Ignatius is not the only Christian spiritual master to have encouraged the use of imagination in prayer.
This is a powerful spiritual promise we have from Jesus that, when we pray in agreement, not only will God hear our prayers, but the presence of Jesus will be with us as we pray! I'm not a nun, but the Scriptures tell us repeatedly that all creation is groaning and being reborn and moving toward completion in God. He instituted marriage and family. We can approach the question of decision making from a number of perspectives, but if we're Christians, and if we really believe that we are made by God and live in a world made by God and for God's purpose, our only reasonable starting place is that purpose: What does God want? To Thee, O Lord, I return it. The protestant reformer Martin Luther once wrote: "To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing. " Sometimes we go to the Lord in prayer when we are desperately in need. Thou hast given all to me. When it comes to decision making, context is everything, and this is a prayer that instantly puts our decision making into the right context, even when our own words fail us, when our own desires are pulling us in a million directions, and the sawdust is starting to look mighty appealing. Ignatius's spiritual method is notable for its emphasis on imagination.
