They have learned not to compartmentalise their lives as you put it. God is there in everything that interests or irritates them, excites or challenges them, big and small, so they talk to him about it all.<br /><br />You ended your Psalm 139 with something similar to your prayer here:<br />"so that I can be all I can be -<br />so that you can use me for all that you can"<br />Both that and this challenge and encourage me.<br />Blessings,<br />IanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8354279212912469509.post-53163356149371961672013-01-12T21:06:41.377+00:002013-01-12T21:06:41.377+00:00Sometimes in prayer, and I'm sure our heavenly...Sometimes in prayer, and I'm sure our heavenly Father appreciates it, to not always want something done on His part but to THANK HIM for who He is and what you already are blessed with.

When I compare how much I complain to friends and family, and how I look for advice from people and books when I need help - if I spent a fraction of that time in prayer how different might life look? <br />Thanks for reading, commenting and sharing.

How can we say we have relationship with God and only talk to Him 5 minutes a day? If we only knew what we're missing.... Thanks for the reminder and the conviction and the challenge to really know and believe Him.

The thought that we miss out on the lavish grace, answers, gifts, goodness and experiences that God had in mind for us simply because we neglected to ask, to pray, to desire or anticipate them, is so sad.<br />"Ask..Seek..Knock" is for believers to pay attention to so that we can enjoy the fullness of God's care and provision for us.<br />Thank you, Helen, for this beautiful and needful reflection.<br />Joy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.com
