More From Annie Dillard

Just slap anything on when you see a blank canvas staring you in the face like some imbecile. you don't know how paralyzing that is, that stare of a blank canvas is, which says to the painter, ‘you can't do a thing’. the canvas has an idiotic stare and mesmerizes some painters so much that they turn into idiots themselves. many painters are afraid in front of the blank canvas, but the blank canvas is afraid of the real, passionate painter who dares and who has broken the spell of `you can't' once and for all.
Real Broken Passionate
Satan cannot deny but that great wonders have been wrought by prayer. as the spirit of prayer goes up, so his kingdom goes down. satan's strategems against prayer are three. first, if he can, he will keep thee from prayer. if that be not feasible, secondly, he will strive to interrupt thee in prayer. and, thirdly, if that plot takes not, he will labour to hinder the success of thy prayer.
Prayer Plot Three
Carmen prayed hard. she prayed while standing near the priest in hopes it would give her request extra credibility. what she prayed for was nothing. she prayed that god would look on them and see the beauty of their existence and leave them alone.

Say the prayer first thing in the morning when you open your eyes; then say it again before you go to sleep. dream the prayer. feel the prayer with your emotional body. be the prayer; align your faith and intent with the prayer until your whole life is based on this prayer.
Dream Morning Prayer
Everything that comes together falls apart. everything. the chair i’m sitting on. it was built, and so it will fall apart. i’m gonna fall apart, probably before this chair. and you’re gonna fall apart. the cells and organs and systems that make you you—they came together, grew together, and so must fall apart. the buddha knew one thing science didn’t prove for millennia after his death: entropy increases. things fall apart.
Fall Cells Together
I have prayed for new men, fiery, reckless men, possessed of uncontrollably youthful passion-these lit by the spirit of god. i have prayed for new words, explosive, direct, simple words. i have prayed for new miracles. explaining old miracles will not do. if god is to be known as the god who does wonders in heaven and earth, then god must produce for this generation. lord, fill preachers and preaching with thy power. how long dare we go on without tears, without moral passions, hatred and love? not long, i pray, lord jesus, not long.

The sinners to whom jesus directed his messianic ministry were not those who skipped morning devotions or sunday church. his ministry was to those whom society considered real sinners. they had done nothing to merit salvation. yet they opened themselves to the gift that was offered them. on the other hand, the self-righteous placed their trust in the works of the law and closed their hearts to the message of grace.
Morning Jesus Real
That's who jesus christ is. he became the final priest and the final sacrifice. sinless, he did not offer sacrifices for himself. immortal, he never has to be replaced. human, he could bear human sins. therefore he did not offer sacrifices for himself; he offered himself as the final sacrifice. there will never be the need for another. there is one mediator between us and god. one priest. we need no other. oh, how happy are those who draw near to god through christ alone.

You will, judas, my brother. god will give you the strength, as much as you lack, because it is necessary—it is necessary for me to be killed and for you to betray me. we two must save the world. help me." judas bowed his head. after a moment he asked, "if you had to betray your master, would you do it?" jesus reflected for a long time. finally he said, "no, i'm afraid i wouldn't be able to. that is why god pitied me and gave me the easier task: to be crucified.
