I was raised in a very devout Christian home, we are always taught that prayer should be respectful and tempered. At one point in my life I had a great crisis of faith. I wound up talking to my parents next door neighbor who unbeknownst to me was a retired military chaplain; that happened to be Jewish. He echoed your comments not exactly, but in thought and spirit. Being forthright and honest greatly improve my relationship with God, I’m still respectful in my prayers but I’m honest about how I feel.
Thank you for sharing.
Yep...just be yourself before Him. Just as you are and what you’re thinking and feeling.
I just talk with God a good part of my day....He’s always present and I love sharing as I would anyone else present in my life. I’m comfortable with God....and when I’m not He knows about it just the same.
