Prayers
And,
What profit
do we get
if we pray
to Him?
[Job 21:15]
************************
"Hey, LORD?"
"Yes, child?"
"Eh.....I'm REALLY praying,
now, OKAY?"
"Yes, child.
I hear you."
(Smile!)
"Yeah! Anyway......You don't
make DEALS, do Ya?"
"Sometimes."
"Yeah; but, You don't
TRUST us, do Ya, Lord?"
"The flesh is weak, child."
"Yeah.
(Squirm.)
Eh........tell me about it."
[NOD.]
"I don't need to, child."
"ALRIGHT, LORD!
RUB it in, OKAY?"
[SMILE.]
"I don't need to, child."
"Yeah: whatever.
Listen......!"
[NOD.]
"Yes?"
"You know what this is about,
Lord.
(Squirm.)
I know in the whole REALM
of things: it's not really that
important....."
"That's not true, child."
"Well, MOST people would
say......!"
"I'm not people,
My beloved."
"Yeah, but Ya USED to
be, LORD!"
(SMILE!)
"When was this, precious?"
"Ya know: back THEN!"
(SMILE!)
"When."
"Ya know: around B.C."
[LAUGH!]
"Ah!
Yes."
"At least, that's what they
say, Lord."
"Who, child."
"CHRISTIANS."
[NOD.]
"Ah.
I see."
"Yeah.
I guess I see now too, Lord."
"What, precious?"
"That Ya used to Be:
and still Are."
[WISE NOD.]
"Hm."
"WHAT?
HEY!
(Turn to stare at ceiling.)
Do You think I'm
BUTTERING Ya UP,
LORD?
(Smile mischieviously up
at air vent.)
[CHUCKLE.]
"YOU know I wouldn't
do THAT, Lord!
I ALWAYS tell Ya,
like it IS!"
[WISE NOD.]
"Hm, hm."
"Alright!
ALRIGHT!
Let's FORGET about THAT!
(Squirm.)
(Back to kvetchy self.)
(Make a frowny face up at air vent.)
SO?
Are Ya gonna answer my
PRAYER?
Or WHAT?"
[PATIENT SIGH.]
"Oy vey, child.
[SIGH.]
Is this PRAYER?"
"Hey!
I'm just being REAL!
AW!
Come on, Lord!
I'm not ASKING for
the MOON, here!
Come ON!
PLEASE?"
[REPROVING NOD.]
"Read My Word,
beloved."
"Yeah, but THIS
situation's not IN there,
LORD!"
"No,
My beloved?"
"WHERE?"
"Keep searching,
My child:
and you will find it."
************************
Truly,
I say to you,
if you have faith.....
even if you say
to this mountain
Be taken up
and cast into the sea,
it will be done.
[Matthew 21:21-22]
