We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Recently I read again of a woman who simply decided one day to make such a commitment to pray, and my conscience was pricked. But I knew myself well enough to know that something other than resolve was being called for. I began to pray about praying. I expressed to God my frustrated longings, my jaded sense of caution about trying again, my sense of failure over working at being more disciplined and regular. I discovered something surprising happening from such simple praying: I was drawn into the presence of One who had, far more than I did, the power to keep me close. I found my focus subtly shifting away from my efforts to God’s, from rigor to grace, from rigidity to relationship. I soon realized that this was happening regularly. I was praying much more. I became less worried about the mechanics and methods, and in turn I was more motivated. And God so cares for us, I realized anew, that He Himself helps us pray. When we “do not know what we ought to pray for… the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express” (Rom. 8:26) (Timothy Jones).

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl, stir together the mayonaisse, sour cream, tarragon
vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, celery seed, pepper, dill, and turnip. Mix
well and refrigerate until needed.
NOTE:  The turnip is a neglected root, a vegetable that is never discussed,
and rarely seen in public.  Here it gets its proper due in a recipe that
sets off the little bite in its flavor and the little crunch of its
texture.  Use it wherever you would coleslaw.
