Hi John : I want to explain my statement just a little further. >>"so why waste time contemplating what we can do for God..."<< I feel the operative word here is 'contemplating'. Jesus gave an illustration of two sons. The one was asked by his father to do something and the son said that he would but later changed his mind and did not do what he said. The second son, when asked to do something by his father said he would not do it but later changed his mind and did what the father asked. Which son was in the will of the father. Obviously the son that first denied he would do what the father asked but later changed his mind. So it is with lip service and wasting time contemplating on what we can or will do for the Father. It is my hope and prayer here that we #1 see the need,#2 ask the Father, and #3 praise Him for the answers He gives. I have stated repeatedly that I personally ask the holy Spirit to give my prayers a wholeness and honesty in Christ. I am personally concerned that a beautiful prayer can become the object of admiration and take our eyes off the the person of Jesus Christ. That is why I love the simplicity of many of the prayers offered here. Some are better at it than others but I feel, so often, just as effective. In Christ..Gregor
