    Event description

    Have you ever wondered why more doesn’t happen when you pray to a loving, infinitely powerful Jesus who said, “Whatever you ask in my name, I will do for you” (Jn 14:13)? Although there are many explanations (e.g. we are praying for the wrong thing), the most common reason is that our image of God is not loving enough. For example, I never was healed of my perfectionism when praying to a God who demanded more perfectionism, “Be perfect as my heavenly Father is perfect.” We can only be healed and really pray to the degree that our image of God is healed. To the degree that our image of God is distorted we are praying to our own false God and not letting the real, loving God touch us. But our image of a loving God gets distorted daily as we see bad things happen to good people, get hurt ourselves, get stuck in destructive habits, or feel more shamed than loved when we hear some scriptures preached. This day retreat will help us discover where our image of God is distorted and begin a lifetime process of healing it so we can experience the fullness of life from the real God of Life.
