The first prayer

Sometimes I wonder if we make knowing God too complicated.
In the end, doesn't it really boil down to what we learned at the beginning
-- in one of our first prayers:

"God is Great.
God is Good."

Because He is GREAT, He is able.   
Because He is GOOD, He is willing.

Maybe that is all
childlike faith
really ever
needs to know.

  1. i like this. reminds me of anne lamott's saying the two prayers she uses the most are "help me help me help me" and "thank you thank you thank you." my version of this lately: "i trust you..."
