This week’s Advice and Query: 12. When you are preoccupied and distracted in meeting let wayward and disturbing thoughts give way quietly to your awareness of God’s presence among us and in the world.  Receive the vocal ministry of others in a tender and creative spirit.  Reach for the meaning deep within it, recognizing that even if it is not God’s word for you, it may be so for others.  Remember that we all share responsibility for the meeting for worship whether our ministry is in silence or through spoken word.

This week’s Advice and Query: 11. Be honest with yourself.  What unpalatable truths might you be evading?  When you recognize your shortcomings, do not let that discourage you.  In worship together we can find the assurance of God’s love and strength to go on with renewed courage.

This Week’s Advice and Query: 10.  Come regularly to meeting for worship even when you are angry, depressed, tired or spiritually cold.  In the silence ask for and accept the prayerful support of others joined with you in worship.  Try to find a spiritual wholeness which encompasses suffering as well as thankfulness and joy.  Prayer, springing from a deep place in the heart, may bring healing and unity as nothing else can.  Let meeting for worship nourish your whole life.
