Just me trying to be honest with God.

“It is always the simple that produces the marvelous.” Amelia E. Barr

Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence— Is64.1 ESV

There are times when we are not sure what needs to be done, only that something needs to be done. We cry out, “Do something Lord, come and make it right.” At such times we just want the Lord to show up, trust that He will know what to do and hope that He will fix what’s wrong. Not a bad way to pray actually. It would seem from stories told us in the Bible that the most effective prayers are direct, honest and express simple faith. A straightforward cry for help says a lot and has moved the arm of the Almighty more times than we can number. 7/29/2008 ts
