“And when you draw close to God, God will draw close to you.” James 4:8
What is true prayer? Let me paint this picture to try to explain:
You are in a boat.
You approach the shore.
You throw the anchor out until it digs into the sand.
You take hold of the anchor rope and pull on it until your boat slides onto the sandy beach.
What have you done? You have not moved the shore to the boat. You have moved the boat to the shore.
The whole purpose of prayer is not to give you what you want when you want it; but to turn you into the kind of person
God wanted you to be when He put you on Planet Earth.
Until next time, keep on singing!

Yeah, and that boat gets a little water logged with the cares of this life at times, and that makes it even harder than ever to “weigh in” with God.
Thanks for that encouragement to pray and take a load off!
I agree. I believe you know what you are talking about. “Water-logged” is a good way to put it!
