More on Prayer

A comment from 'Asking' linked to this post on Elizaphanian. Worth reading.

I always find our human desire for control to be the greatest source of pride/sin. As if we could do anything better. Yet that is how I act everyday. Thinking I know what is best, and living as such. But reverent prayer does indeed break down that thinking. For when we are truly focused on Him, we are aware of our utter dependence on Him, and our own inadequacies in controlling our lives.

You give and take away,
You give and take away.
My heart will choose to say,
Blessed be your Name.
