Tragic behavior is occasioned by high ideals which fail to show respect for the ultimate importance of personal and communal integrity. People who have become alienated through tragic idealistic behavior need to pray both individually and corporately for guidance towards reconciliation through integrative dialogue. Prayer is the focusing of yearning for integrity to heal the wounds of striving for alienative superiority. Praying for reconciliation and integrity is a way to compensate for tragic idealistic behaviors which lead to alienation. Disintegration is the consequence of the lack of such compensation. The errors of tragic idealism which lead to alienation are to be expected in the course of random chaotic processes. They need to be compensated for by wise deliberate efforts which are not random, chaotic or indifferent to the costs of alienation. Prayer is a way to transcend tragedy by being personally and corporately concerned about alienation; seeking to promote open and honest dialogue even in spite of tragic idealistic behaviors which tend to engender alienation. Such prayer seeks to sacrifice alienative ideals in the service of reconciliation and integration, seeking through worship to understand the dynamics of tragic idealistic behavior. Wise prayer is not asking another to do for you what you can not do for yourself. Wise prayer is an effort toward integrity and cooperation in doing together what individuals can not do in alienation and misunderstanding. Prayer is integrative rather than magical, coherent rather than coercive; yet not subject to objective analysis, understanding and control; and so mysterious. Prayer is not a technique for achieving goals already chosen. Prayer is a way in which to be personally and communally coherent in the choice of ideals, values, goals and means. Through prayer integrity may be enjoyed, even though not achieved. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
