Prayer

"Be good to Your servant, that I may live and obey Your word. Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in Your instructions." Psalm 119:17-18

I love that God gives us the opportunity to directly commune with Him. It is such an amazing concept. I can't wrap my brain around it, but then again, I don't think I ever want to be able to. But with that amazing blessing comes amazing responsibility. We are to obey what is revealed to us by God in prayer and heed His instruction. It sounds so simple, but God clearly knew that it wouldn't be. He is not a parent to be consulted about Your decision. You and I are the children who are to listen to Him as the only opinion that matters, no matter what  anybody else says.
