Lessons in Honesty

by i.burgess on January 27, 2010

Struggling? Been praying for change? God has finally heard my cry.

Here’s how it worked for me:

“Hey dude, can we talk”

“Sure”

(Later)

“I’ve been really struggling with X”

“Thank you so much for sharing that, I’ve been really struggling with Y”

“Can we talk about X and Y more often”

“That would be amazing”

“Let’s pray”

The conversation was amazing. The Lord draws near as we open ourselves to each other, as God seems to glorify himself most when we humble ourselves beyond what is comfortable.

This is what God has done for me tonight. He heard my prayers.

He is good.
