  • Prayer...

         This morning I awoke to the voice of Tommie Nelson on the radio.  He was talking about prayer, a very difficult issue for me.  The very first sentence I heard was (more or less) the following:  "We find prayer very difficult primarily for this reason; It is so opposed to what we are!  We are mostly 'fixers' and want to DO something to alleviate difficult situations or solve problems, but we can't!  Prayer is the acknowledgement of our place as creatures--creatures with very little control over our or other's circumstances!"
