30 - Day 15


I was feeling pretty good.  Feeling pretty good about finishing the workday and then spending the entire flight home reading about prayer.  

It seemed right…really right.  Like I had spent my time well.
Like I had learned something important.  Like starting at deplaning, I could be a better person, a better mom, a better wife, a better friend.

And then the spam hits the ever-loving fan and I figure out pretty quick, you cannot read about prayer.  You cannot study it or discuss it or describe it enough to do enough.  You must DO it.  You must be in such close touch with the Father that when the cage rattles, you know what to hold on to.


No words, no platitudes, no relationship can hold us above water EXCEPT the single outstretched hand of the Father.  

He doesn’t allow our world to get rocked so He can watch us sink.  He rocks it so He can ask us to walk on water.
