Underhill

As usual, if you with to see what I'm blogging on, please go here.

1) I think by this she means that instead of us enshrining the world by means of strife, prayer enshrines the world with what is true, and lovely, and by this, our lives are better. I agree with this and think that along with that, prayer also helps brush off the dust of our light, and helps it shine brighter, like a foggy headlight. If cleaned, that headlight shines so much brighter, and prayer is the new lens, or the cleaning fluid by which we brighten our testimony.

2) Underhill sounds a lot like Buttrick in that they both give a kind of template for what to do and what not to do in Prayer. I think this is a good thing to remember when entering prayer, but not to think of as steadfast rules, for prayer can be different based off of what you are coming to God about, and the setting in which you are at, along with the fact that we are all in different stages in the Christian life.

3)I don't really have any questions specifically to the text, but if I were to have one, it would be that this text seems to be talking about a daily, longer prayer, but what is you are just coming to God for something that is bothering you. Do you still follow these dos and don'ts? or not? And if not, then what would most likely apply, and what wouldn't?
