I have a ridiculous prayer. I have lived as a person who believed that prayer is a thing that is for us to feel like we can talk to God. But it where we allow of dreams and hope to begin to breath to have a life and to be given to God. Now we have to keep in mind that God has a will and he will have his will happen no matter what. But he tells us to come to him. We get to share our hearts with the God of the universe and he not only holds these dreams and loves them, he dose what is one of the hardest things, he dose not give them to us till we need them and we can handle them.
On of the message that i still remember from harvest is jeff talking about the Israelites and how God took care of them when they just entered into the promise land. It says that God did not give all of the promise land to his children, he said trust me and i will give you what you need, and they did not need nor could they handle all the promise land at once.
But back to ridiculous prayers, right now i am reading a book called "In a pit, with a lion, on a snowy day." And is one of the best books ever, there are a few things that i don't totally agree with but its epic, but i was reading and i can across apart that talked about praying ridiculous prayers and in this case it was a man had lost his axe head in a river wail he was working and he told Elisha, who it said thought a stick in a it floated, but he probably was like well lets just see...." God if this is your will them please let this stick that i thought in bring back to axe head." And you are probably like yah so the axe head came back. Ok hold up lets think about this. A-THis is the Jordan river a is not some wimpy river,B-the density of iron is 7.2 grams per cubic centimeter, and C- iron dose not come to the top and just wait for you to come pick it up. THis was a ridiculous prayer.
But i have one and yes it may be stupid and it may totally not be Gods will and i am ok if it dose not happen. BUt i love it. Why cant i ask my God for something i want. Why should i not. He tells us prayer is how we talk to him and how my prayer may not be as big as anyone else's but why should i hold my tongue for that reason. SO my ending question is what is something that is totally ridiculous that you are going to start praying for. :)
