I work like it’s up to me,
and pray like it’s up to Him.

I came across those words online the other day, and it struck me… While I might have that in my head, it’s not necessarily in my heart.

Often I don’t pray like it’s up to Him. See, I like being in control. When I do things, I know they’re done right. And that means that I then don’t trust God to do a good enough job for me. But that’s crazy, I mean… really, that’s crazy. Not to mention foolish.

And yet I do it, day after day, all the while wondering when I’m going to learn that lesson.

Take heed, friends, and learn from my foolishness.
