Prayer Journal

God, we yearn to hear You loving words of direction and guidance in our daily lives. Yes, we pretend to avoid You like the plague, but what we need so desperately is to know that what we hear is really Your voice, even if we are afraid, confused or downright defiant in following what we believe You are asking us to do. But what we also need to remember is that You don't ask us to do what we can't. You also don't leave us deserted with no help to accomplish the task at hand. Nor do you bully, prod or poke at us because that is not who You are. Most importantly, God, we need to remember that Your voice is based in love for us that is frequently loving toward us in just the way we need. Even if the world seems like a rough and tumble place, You are always beside us, not to chide, but to hold our hand as we cross the street. Amen.
