now, honestly...

are you honest with God? seems like a no-brainer at first glance, but ponder it for a second, or more....

When you pray, are you confessing your sins? When you are weak, are you naming your kryptonite? When you are desperate for Him, do you say it? When thankful, do you proclaim it?

Here is my reasoning for asking...I have noticed in my life, that many times I pray in "vain repetition." I start the same way, end the same way, and often have the same generic plea for help in the middle. That may not be blatant dishonesty with God, but it is not full confession, commitment, or communion either.

God knows: the thoughts you've had, the actions you performed, the words you spoke, so the point it not to inform or enlighten Him, but to surrender to Him in complete honesty.

in grace, tim
