Honest Prayer

There are people in this world that I love so deeply and fully that it is impossible to adequately express that love. For a few their relationship with my--and their--Savior's love breaks my heart. I have prayed many a wordless prayer of only tears on their behalf. And will continue to do so. Yet the Savior--as He weeps with me--always reminds me that I need not worry. His love is a greater love than mine. And His glory is a greater necessity than anything I could desire.

 To be dishonest when I pray to Him about my needs and concerns is to reject His plea to "cast all your cares on Me, for I care for you." And to doubt that He cares is to give a voice to the roaring lion.

 Sometimes I think, "I had a small answer to prayer today." How "small" is it I wonder to have a God who even listens to what I say, let alone lovingly responds? I experienced a miracle today.

 Why do we feel embarrassed at times to ask others for prayer? We should feel embarrassed when we don't ask. Pride doesn't produce too many answers to prayer.
