Last week I was on a motorcycle trip in rural Arkansas.
You see a lot from a motorcycle that you might miss in a car.
I saw one of those moveable signs out in front of an auto body shop
with just two words on it:
PRAY HARD
"YES!" I thought, "Pray hard! that's what we all need to do."
I have been pondering ever since...
I think that person's neighbors may know what she or he is referring to.
But I do not.
We may believe utterly different things, we may be praying for opposing items
(cancelling each other out like in an election) (if prayer worked that way)
(see this news about a current election issue in Eureka Springs, AR)
But. I'm not sure that matters. I don't think prayer does work that way.
God is not a big ballot box.
I think that what's really important is that we all
PRAY HARD.
And listen for what God has to say back to us.
