So still on the relationship trip that we’ve been on for a few days now and there’s something marvellous about the relationship we develop with God that moves us beyond piety and pretence to desperation and admitted nakedness. It’s easy to put on masks for the public but in prayer to develop a knowing of God and exploring the traumas and torments of many of the men and women of God and how they cried out to Him, there is a role model for that level of transparency before Him. No need for the rituals and the alleged protocols especially as there is a realisation that the God who sees the heart and knows your pain even before you cry it out will look beyond anything that’s not real. So it is of great reassurance to be at the place of absolute need for Him and cry out … and not get the answer you’re waiting for or the ‘miracle you need right now’. Not even to necessarily ‘feel’ any different, but to know at the core of your being that He hears and His presence goes with you, so that even as you walk through your valleys, He guides you and wards off the enemy of your soul. It’s good to know, because it gives license to cry out to Him time and again – God – I need you now.
For His Name’s Sake
