Written Prayer; Cargos of Love ~ 4 11 December 2001 I have often wondered and pondered on pleading with God. Many Old Testament saints pleaded with God. Cried out to Him. Do I have to ask God several times for something? Or just once? Does it depend on what it is I am asking of Him? For I know that what is important to me may differ to what the Lord knows is good for me. If I were to ask Him again and again for the same thing, would it indicate to Him my lack of faith? I know I have a lack of faith, which I detest. If I ask you once, oh, Lord, and not again, does it show that I don't really want it? That I don't really mean it? That I am not diligent enough in prayer for my petition? "In my distress I called upon the Lord and cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry came before Him, even unto His ears" ~ Psalm 18:6 Is this enough, Lord? David repeated himself often. Is that what You want me to do? Or do you expect something different from me? Helen |
