Just to make it today…
I can’t believe how 80s I am.
Every time I think, or hear, the phrase “You’ve got to pray,” I envision MC Hammer pants. That can’t be healthy.
But, here we go… You’ve got to pray (just to make it today… wow, it is an illness).
Communication is essential to any relationship, and without it the relationship will wither and die. Or, at least go into a period of hibernation until the spring thaw.
What is communication? When we think about prayer this is the bigger question, because I think we have too often pigeon-holed our definition a prayer to being a close-eyed, bowed-head recitation of our forgiveness requests followed by a listing of our most common wants disguised as needs.
Where’s the interplay? Where the dialogue? Where’s the relationship?
That definition of prayer would never fly as real communication in marriage. Garuntee you. Try it. Wait, don’t try it. I don’t have any counseling slots left, and you’d need it after that.
