Honest Prayer | In Jesus’ Name.
My Notes:
God is never offended at my honest communication… (duh… he already knows anyway!)
I think I often attribute too many human characteristics to God – especially in times of frustration. I forget that He is perfect and I (and all humanity) are broken and imperfect.
Humanity doesn’t react the way God reacts… in fact, God doesn’t react – he responds.
God responds to me out of perfect love. People react out of brokenness, out of wounds, out of hurts and pains. People react out of mistrust and fear. God only responds out of perfect, unfailing love. This devotional depicts that in the two examples it shows – one of Job and one of the immoral woman.
Respond vs. React – I struggle to live this out. I strive to instill it in my own life and the lives of my children and family.
Thank you LORD that you never react to me and my stupidity, but that you respond to my needs and my cries out of perfect love. Thank you that I can always be honest with you.
