Bono preaching again

Bono was the guest speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., this week. He gave lots of food for thought, but here is the part that caught my attention the most:

"A number of years ago, I met a wise man who changed my life. In countless ways, large and small, I was always seeking the Lord’s blessing. I was saying, you know, I have a new song, look after it… I have a family, please look after them… I have this crazy idea…

"And this wise man said: stop.

"He said, stop asking God to bless what you’re doing.

"Get involved in what God is doing—because it’s already blessed.

"Well, God, as I said, is with the poor. That, I believe, is what God is doing. And that is what He’s calling us to do."
