God Will Understand
“For me, being a Quaker isn’t easy, by that I mean there are a lot of hard choices to be made, and you’re left on your own to get in touch with God, which is good. This being left alone means that I can come to terms with God, and at anytime I need. There is no minister there to tell me how and when to talk to God, or even to talk to him or her so that they can speak to God on my behalf. There is a downside to this though. Without anyone telling you how to do any of this, it seems rather hard to get in touch with God. Thus I have come to the conclusion that there is no ‘right’ way to speak with God, just do it the best you can, and God will understand.”
