selfish prayers

Look at our prayers.  We want so many things.  One prays for nice weather for a picnic while the farmer in the same town prays for rain to ease the drought.

When our wants get in the way, prayer can get really fuzzy.  Prayer should be less about what we want and more about spending time with God.   

Do you want to hang around people that always want something from you?  No, our friends are folks that we just enjoy being with.  If they start asking for money and favors all the time, I don’t think we will have them over as often for dinner. 

I wonder if God feels the same way sometimes?

Prayer should be more about spending time with our Father.


It’s a beautiful day in God’s world, be sure to see the good.
