Seems weird to talk to a God!





Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,  to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:20, 21 NIV84)

Doesn't it seem weird to talk to the creator of the universe? Once in a while, tonight for example, I am completely awed during my time of prayer. Usually it's a verse like this one from Ephesians that overloads my brain. I mean why do I even pray to a God that is so powerful? Who am I to even feel like I could have something of value to say to God? I can't ask for anything because he provides all. I can't  talk about my future. He already knows it.  In my feebleness and struggle for words, he is powerful. It has taken me over 50 years to finally realize , it's not what I say or ask that God cares about. He just wants to hear from me. In his perfect grace he just wants to spend time with me, his imperfect, flawed, sinful servant. When I do spend time with him, he just can't help but to heap blessings upon my soul.

It really embarrasses me how blessed I am. I have done nothing, yet he has given all, even his own son. This thanksgiving I can't even express in words how much I am humbled to pray to God. Thank you Lord for wanting me. Thank you for your love, mercy, and grace. Even in the awkwardness of my prayers, you are there. Even when I babble in a blog, you are there. Even in my sinfulness, you are there. Praise your name , for I am blessed immeasurably more than I could imagine.
