The moment we understand that, playfulness is born. Prayer that enters into relationship with earth and sky, sea and mountain plays. It skips and dances. We do not live in an ironclad universe of cause and effect. In the presence of the God of Jacob, there is life that is beyond prediction. There is freedom to change, to become more than we were in the presence of the God who “turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.”
