Somewhat… mom and dad were on assistance and by the time I was 18 dad was not working much; so it was The State who provided for me and not dads paycheck.
Prayer Training: God “could” provide every resource I could ever think of… but to what end?!?
Why would I need to ask for food from God if I’m walking with Him right now?
Am I NOT an adopted son?
And if I am, and I know Jesus, shouldn’t I then as a “good son” want to join the family business?
And if so then how would my prayers look?
What am I asking Him if that is indeed the case?
What am I mature enough to handle as… a disciple; a son; a little brother; “Hey dad?!? Can I sweep the shop for you?!?”
But then what if He says, “Sure”
Do we get angry because that isn’t important enough or a big enough job to do?!?
If I love Him I am obedient to Him and do “whatever” it is He tells me to do.
So then wouldn’t it be prudent to pray for “ears to hear” so that I stay attuned to His will… and hear Him clearly when He does ask me to do something?!?
Like write an article for Jeff Petit, and ask the question of family and friends “Do you know Jesus as well as you know Jeff?!?”
