Just me trying to be honest with God.

”Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance. It is laying hold of His willingness.” Martin Luther

Most of the time, I already know what prayers God will answer with a “Yes” just as I know which ones He won’t, and I know this even before I ask. The level of my confidence in prayer increases or decreases depending on whether or not I believe what I am asking is something that Jesus would be glad to represent to His Father. It is sobering for me to realize that I do not ask enough--that God is more willing to answer us than we are willing to ask. Ask Him!

“And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 3/7/2017
