Pause For Thought
Matt Woodcock, Church of England Pioneer Minister and Mission Supporter in the Diocese of York:听
The other day - in an effort to spice up an RE lesson - I challenged a class of ten-year-olds to 鈥榓sk me anything鈥�.
鈥楴o question off limits鈥�, I told them. Big mistake. I left that classroom a gibbering wreck.听听 A little lad was the first to put his hand up. He asked: 鈥楻everend Matt - why do I exist?鈥� 听Then the questions got really hard.
鈥榃ould God forgive Hitler?鈥�
鈥楢m I related to Adam and Eve?鈥�
鈥榃hat鈥檚 my purpose in life?鈥� 听听听
What a relief when someone asked how old I was and if I鈥檇 ever met Ariane Grande. 鈥楩辞谤迟测-蹿辞耻谤鈥� and 鈥楴o, but my daughters are desperate to鈥� were the best answers I gave. But I鈥檓 still going back for another punishing Q and A next month. It鈥檚 important.
I think asking questions - of ourselves, our beliefs and the world around us - can be essential to human flourishing. I asked a big, uncomfortable question of my own a few months ago. 听To my doctor. The 鈥榃hat鈥檚 wrong with me?鈥� question.
I鈥檇 had a bit of a funny turn driving on the motorway. Sudden hot sweats, racing heartbeat. Breathless panic. 听It scared me. Anyway, it turns out I鈥檓 fine. 听After various proddings and tests, my GP said I just needed to slow down a bit.
Be kinder to my body.
Take a proper day off.
I鈥檓 certainly trying.
The point is that it took me far too long to ask the 鈥榟elp鈥� question. I put it off.
I think so many of us are sometimes too afraid or embarrassed to ask for help - even to the detriment of our mental or physical health.
Yet - in my experience - the beautiful truth is that someone is nearly always willing to offer it. I鈥檓 trying to get better at asking for God's help, too.听 After all Jesus said: 鈥楢sk and you shall receive.' So I鈥檝e been carving out more times of quiet prayer and reflection.
It鈥檚 helped slow me down.听 Provided inner comfort.
And made me see that it鈥檚 OK to say 鈥榥o鈥� sometimes. Essential, even.
I could certainly do with some divine inspiration at my next classroom question time.
I may be forced to resort to that most humbling of all answers:
鈥業 don鈥檛 know.鈥櫶� I get the feeling I鈥檒l be saying that a lot, Zoe.
