Yesterday I was in the sanctuary praying. I found myself telling God what to do. I found myself trying to control situations I have no control over. After realizing what i was doing, a thought occured to me:
Maybe prayer isn't so much about trying to control outcomes? Maybe it's more about resigning to God's will? Maybe it's not so much about getting done what i want done? Maybe it's more about alignging my will to what God wants done?
I know we should pray and ask God for what we need. But I think we (I) often try and control God.
"Be still and know that i am God,' said the Psalmist. May God help us to do that!
