Thinking about death is not easy. Dwelling on it in prayer is even harder. But prayer is often about facing up to the things we would rather not deal with and seeking insight and wisdom. Jesus prayed in a garden before he went to the cross and agonised over it all. How we think and accept the realities of our fragile lives impacts how we live and there is strength, comfort and hope in the quietness of prayer, if we have the guts to go there. The lovely Sue has thought about her death and she is surprisingly up beat about it.
