Sometimes I'm so vague when I pray. "Dear God, please help me today. Please help everything go well. Please bless everyone...."
I think the pastor this morning added an extra "s" by accident, but somehow it made a big difference to me. He told us we need to remember to ask God "for directions."
Immediately a mental image appeared of someone in a car, pulling over to ask a pedestrian how to get to a destination. Well, take your first left, then your third right, go past the school, then the first right after the post office. This is pretty different than pulling up to someone and saying, should I go East or West in order to have a happy life?
God thankfully provides both direction and directions. But even if I know which direction He's leading me, I need to remember to ask God about the best route to get there.
