This term usually reminds me of sports. Athletes often refer to being “in the zone” when they are so mentally focused on what they are doing that they, for example, break a record in track, hit a home run or pitch a shutout in baseball, or achieve a personal best score during a figure skating competition.
This concept isn’t restricted to physical activity, however. Each of us has experienced times in our lives when something within our thought has allowed us to achieve something that we would not otherwise have expected to, when we’ve been so inspired that we’ve accomplished a difficult task with ease.
Prayer helps us overcome all kinds of discordant human situations.
