Cast your burden
on the Lord.
And He shall
sustain you.
[Psalm 55:22]
******************************
"Lord?"
"Here I am, child."
"Well? What should
I do about these
dreams: the ones
with the giant slugs
coming out of the
ocean and devouring
everything?"
[SILENCE.]
"If I told my friends......
they would just tell me
to pray about them."
[NOD.]
" I've already
done that, Lord.
(silence)
So, now what."
"This is PRAYER, child?"
"Aw. Come ON, Lord!
How many times
have I told You
'bout all my
bad dreams?
Gimme' a BREAK!"
"Child,
Who are you speaking to?"
"Eh.........the One
Who made Neptune?"
[NOD.]
"I couldn't help that, Lord.
I saw somethin' about
Neptune, on the news
yesterday."
[SOLEMN NOD.]
"I don't what it was
about; it was some
science thing.
(silence)
Who cares.
So what about me."
"Tell Me about Neptune, child."
"Well. I don't KNOW.
(silence)
It's some planet."
"Very good, child."
"I think it's near Pluto,
but I think it's bigger
than Pluto.
I'm not sure."
"Go on, My little one."
"Uh. I don't KNOW!
I don't think
it gets much sun,
so it's probably cold."
"Good.
What is it made of?"
"Uhm......I don't know;
rocks and ice?"
[NOD.]
"And what else, child?"
"Uh. I don't know, Lord.
I'm too tired to look this
stuff up."
"You don't have to, child.
Tell Me."
"Why don't I just ask the readers?
They're probably
smarter than me, anyhow."
"No. I want you to tell Me,
My precious."
(silence)
"Well, it's rocks, ice,
and......"
"I'm listening, child."
"And.......eh......
Your power?"
[NOD.]
*****************************
Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;
from the end of the earth
I call to Thee,
when my heart is faint.
Lead Thou me
to the rock that is
higher than I;
for Thou
art my refuge,
a strong tower
against the enemy.
[Psalms 61:1-3]
