The prevailing idea seems to be, that I come to God and ask Him for something that I want, and that I expect Him to give me that which I have asked. But this is a most dishonouring and degading conception. The popular belief reduces God to a servant, our servant: doing our bidding, performing our pleasure, granting our desires. No, prayer is a coming to God, telling Him my need, committing my way unto the Lord, and leaving Him to deal with it as seemeth Him best.

Cook the orzo in plenty of rapidly boiling water until it is tender. Place
the peas in a colander in the sink, and drain the pasta right onto the peas

gently. Sprinkle with grated pecorino or Parmesan, and serve warm or at
room temperature in bowls. Serves 4 or more. PER SERVING: 341 cals,

"When I was a child," says Katzen, "one of my favorite comfort foods was a
dish my mother called Noodles and Cheese. Although it was just some plain
pasta mixed with cottage cheese and a little sour cream, it had a magical,
calming effect on me. I make a slightly more adult version now, which is a
little fancier, but equally comforting."
