Hello Foreverbelongs
God bless you this day.
I know what you mean...when I first started on the journey to enhance my prayer life, I felt like a dork. Like I was at the first rehearsal for a "play" that I was given an acting part in -- as if God was a lifelong thespian and was going to judge me on how badly I was playing the part. Why? because I was just getting to know Him, and I felt like we were strangers, plus my prayers weren't the least bit eloquent, even though I was tempted initially to try to sound eloquent.
Found out soon enough, He only wanted me -- flaws, guffaws and all.
I was so blessed and relieved to discover that prayer is simply communication between He and I -- at it's finest -- and that He really cared about me. I was reminded that He already knows me, completely -- it was only I that did not know Him all that well. And, on top of that, He wasn't the least bit mad at me for not having gotten to know Him sooner.
He really and truly loves us and longs for us to talk with Him. And He never tires of my endless questions, or my whining or my tears, or my lame jokes, or my ...
Wooooooohooooooo!!!
He loves you, Foreverbelongs.
Oh, and as far as your work schedule...He probably got a good chuckle out of that, just as I did.
God bless and keep you, Foreverbelongs.
Love,
Mack
