PRAYING

He was praying all the way home….

He was scared at what his wife had
just said on the phone about their son….

"Our life is about to change," she said.
Their son's marriage had just fallen apart ….

"Oh, my GOD, there are children involved.

Oh my GOD, what did we do wrong?
Now what? Now what? Now what?"

"Oh my GOD," he realized, “I’m always

praying to YOU without knowing it.

I’m always praying to YOU? I'm scared.

Does everybody do this to YOU too?
Does everybody come running to YOU
when hurting - like a child whose
parents have just broken apart? GOD!
Now what? Now what? Now what?”
