But?

Tonight I prayed, "God, I know You will take care of me, but..."

I stopped mid-thought. Did I honestly just say that? Ouch. Where was I going with that thought? Well, it doesn't matter.

There is a place for honesty. God is certainly big enough to handle my doubts, fears, recriminations, confusion, weakness, and pain. Just read Job or Psalms. Yet, tonight was more along the lines of "Couldn't You make this easier?" rather than "Please help me through." Aware of dangerous ground, I changed my prayer.

Tonight I prayed, "God, I know you will take care of me. Thank you."

What then shall we say to these things? 

If God is for us, who can be against us?
