Prayer!

So why make prayer so bloody difficult? I mean who are you trying to impress - God with your prose? Why not just tell Him how it is? Use the words that come to mind, don’t just quote scripture… He knows them more than you!

Tell Him how you feel, like you would a trusted friend, but remember He can understand your minds heart too. He knows your true feelings so don’t wrap it all up in sugar sweet candy to be polite. You can’t shock God, He has heard it all before.

He choose to hang out with coarse fishermen and whores, not the religious elite!

Jesus cursed the religious elite for being superficial.

So then tell Him how it is - how it really is in the words you know how to express your thoughts and deepest needs.

If you are angry tell Him.

If you are really really angry swear it all out at Him, if you need to, or do you think your language is worse than that of a whore?

Then when you are done, rest and smile knowing the He heard you and loves you despite yourself…as He so loves me.

The religious elite will tell you God is holy so be polite…. but remember it's in the bible God cursed those who thought their religious piety was correct!

If you don’t believe me then read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and see what Jesus called the pious priests ruling in Israel. You may be surprised.

The Message is the most easy translation of the bible to understand for it is written in real words, not polite sentences.

The words in the Message reflect life today.
