Gimme!
Seeds XII, 29
Seed: Gimme!
Rabbi Marc Gellman of Temple Beth Torah in Long Island sounds like a real character to me. He’s part of the God Squad team on cable television. Over the next four weeks, we are going to explore his four kinds of prayers.
Gellman says, “Really, when you come right down to it, there are only four basic prayers.” One of them is “Gimme!”
I love this. Isn’t it clear? Isn’t that at bottom what we’re saying when we want a new dress or a new car or a new anything? “Gimme!,” says the good rabbi, “is a request or a petition.” It also applies to intangibles as well as tangibles.
God, give me strength.
God, give me patience (and give it to me now.)
The thing it makes me think about is that God wants always to give each one of us what is the best for us. Ask, dear one, ask all you like, and know that if your Gimme is returned to you with a No, that it’s for the best.
Be passion,
Susan Corso
