I Need You, You Need Me

    I really don't care what you are doing. I should, but I don't! And if the truth were known, you don't care what I'm doing either.

    Sounds awful, doesn't it?

    Why don't I care? Two reasons!

• I don't really know you.
• Nor do I know what you are doing.

    And that is the same reason you don't care.

    By the way, this is the same reason most of our prayers go unanswered. We don't know the One to whom we pray.

    If we don't know one another, then it is impossible to know what each of us is going through and, generally, we don't care about what we don't know.

    This is true of our relationship with God. If I'm not intimate with Him then I won't really know His desires for me or the Kingdom, and therefore I will be unable to pray according to His will. That is why Jesus taught us to pray beginning with our relationship with God: "Our Father..."

    Three more thoughts:

1. No man is an island!
2. Hermitology is not in God's vocabulary.
3. I can't operate in isolation; neither can you.

Just thought I would read your blog and let you know there are people who are praying and thinking in the same way you are. I know sometimes it seems we are alone in our own thoughts and no one knows, but God knows and sometimes he will let us know if we listen. I am trying to listen, but sometimes its hard when you have thoughts that keep you from listen. Just my thoughts
Thanks
