Job 35

13 People are arrogantly indifferent to God—
    until, of course, they’re in trouble,
    and then God is indifferent to them.


This is one of the reasons I started my daily prayer list, trying to avoid being exactly as Elihu is saying.  But even with this feeble attempt, my prayers tend to be much more detailed and intentional when I need some help or am feeling some pain than they are when I'm telling him thank you for all the blessings in my life.  kind of sobering, but if i'm honest with myself...true.

  1. Man, that is SO true!
    How often have you asked someone to pray for you, to ask God to do his will in your life............? eeeehhhhhhhhh......never!
    I tend to slip into a recipe prayer, if I'm not really careful. I have my list of things that I want/need to cover with him......ahahhahahaah...its funny to even write that isn't it.
    Sometimes I wonder how hard am I making him laugh?
