John Davies: Notes from a small vicar

Shortening the distance between ourselves and God


Listen Later

Will God help us when it hurts? Will God help us bring an end to the massacre of innocents? Can God show us how to overcome those things which divide us, how to escape our cycles of condemning and being condemned? Will God guide us into ways of goodness and hope? How we long to find a way to ‘shorten the distance between ourselves and God’.

There is a ‘way’ to do this, and a ‘how’. The way is Jesus and the how is prayer.

A talk for The Sixth Sunday after Trinity, 27 July 2025.

Referencing Colossians 2.6-19, Luke 11.1-13.
