I wonder if God...

So, I was sitting in one of my favorite places of all time, Freed-Hardeman University, at one of my favorite events, the Lectureships.  And for the “umteenth” time the “prayer” thanked God for Freed-Hardeman.  Which, was fine, because I’m sure each of those praying were sincere and love FHU as I do....but...it got me to thinking. Do you think God ever gets tired of our prayers?  “Thankful for FHU” “...yeah, I know...”  I wonder if He ever thinks: “Stop thanking Me for the Bible - thank Me for Me!” Or: “Stop just praying in auto-pilot.” “Stop praying the lazy stuff, ask Me for something audacious - I can handle weather and food any day - ask Me to intervene in the impossible - show some faith.” “Stop being so selfish, seek My Will, then ask for it more than just what makes you happy.”  “And while I’m at it stop being dishonest in your prayers: “Stop talking about loving everyone when everyone around you knows you have ongoing feuds with brother/sister so-and-so. Do you think I’m blind - friend, I can read your heart!” “Stop filling the air with empty words of faith and faithfulness when you are not living those things in your private life.” “Stop asking Me to help the helpless if you are not willing to sacrifice for it?” “Stop asking me to bless ‘your church’ when you criticize it and run it down all this time.”

I wonder? No, I doubt He does...
