Sunday Reflection: Telling God what to do
There is a story of lost faith I have heard many times. Someone's prayers were not answered, and that led them to think that there was no God, or at least not a God who was listening.
But... doesn't that pattern get it all backwards in terms of who is God and who am I? If I tell God what to do, aren't I putting myself in the role of the superior being? I'm telling God what to do, and now I will punish God for failing to obey.
Talk about setting yourself up for disappointment!
