“Why?”
Why? Why me? Why this? Why this now? Why God?
The Benedictines suggest a different question. They ask us to pray this simple prayer, “God, what do you have for me here?”

When I consult with churches, I’ll often ask to interview a few members of the congregation, the staff and elders. One of the questions I’ll ask them is, “If you were forced to choose one, is your congregation more loving or spiritual?” While these are obviously not mutually exclusive, I’ve never seen a church in decline where the dominant answer was “spiritual.”
