i suddenly thought of something. you know, sometimes we complain that God doesn't hear us. we think that our prayers and groanings are useless.
so i was thinking this, and my dog kept barking at me and scratching my bible- cos im looking at it la, and she wants my attention. then it striked me- its very hard for me to ignore her when i love her and i know she wants my attention. similarly, if we cry out to God so hard, i think, maybe this will sound a little boastful, but its hard for God to ignore us when he loves us. I don't think we'll be ignored eventually (i mean assuming you think there has been no response from him for some time..), because even the most imperfect of us will respond almost immediately to someone we love when they call for us- what more God?
so anyway, all my dog wanted was for me to pet her. then she barked and barked and barked... just for that. guess it doesn't matter the problem u present to God, just present it to him anyway, his love for u is great enough to die for u, i think he'd respond even when you say, i can't feel you, i'm feeling dry, and all i want is for you to touch me.The door that never shuts- is the door of prayer.debbie at 12:53 PM
