This was written by my ex-girlfriend Becky on her blog, and is posted with her permission. I can’t read it without being severely challenged.

The setting is in the 24/7 prayer room at her church in Woking where she spent three hours on Sunday morning, and it’s a conversation between her and God. Be ready to be challenged…

Me: Lord, what would I be doing with my life if sin had never come into the world. What would your puropse for me be?

God: To worship me all the days of your life and trust me completely.

Me: In this world of sin, what is your design for my life?

God: To worship me all the days of your life and trust me completely.

Me: Lord, in practice, what does that really mean? How can I do that.

God: Never take me away from the front of your mind. Stay in constant communion with me. Consult me on your life, discuss the minutiae of your life with me. I care, I want to know. Don’t wait until your life has tun out of fuel to call on me.

Me: But is that practical? I mean, won’t that get in the way of my life and what I
need to do?

God: Yes of course it will. That is the point.

HOW OFTEN DO I LET GOD GET IN THE WAY OF MY LIFE?

How often indeed. Far too little in my case. Look at how often I burn out. I would handle life a lot better if I observed that very simple thing… absolute numptiness.

Scary.
