More confirmation that we (as Christians, as Nazarenes, and as missionaries) are called to simplicity, flexibility, and prayerful abandon, courtesy of the Green Book:
"If we ask God for so little it may well be because we feel the need for
him so little. We are leading complacent, secure, well-protected,
mediocre lives. We aren't living dangerously enough; we aren't living the way Jesus wanted us to live when he proclaimed the good news" -Anthony de Mello
"I am telling you my own experience and that of my colleagues: we could go for days on end without food; we could not live a single minute without prayer." -Mahatma Gandhi
"The less we pray the less we are likely to live the risky, challenging life that the Gospels urge us to; the less of a challenge there is in our life, and the less we are likely to pray." -de Mello
"Given the type of life I am leading, if I ceased to pray I should go mad!" -Gandhi
Which brings us back to a song that keeps getting stuck in our heads:
