Have A Little Talk With Jesus

Let us have a little talk with Jesus.
Let us tell him all about our troubles.
He will hear our faintest cry
And he will answer by and by
So when you feel a little prayer wheel turning
And you know a little fire is burning
You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right.

Talking to Jesus is a good thing. Prayer works. Not because we choose or will something to happen but because God chooses to be moved by the prayers of his people. This doesn't mean we always get what we ask for, or that the answer is always yes but we can be sure that God listens and hears our prayers.

And it feels good to get things off of our chest. Its good to not carry things inside but to let them out. And there is no other person who is a better listener or audience for our venting than our loving Father.

And he knows. It all. He understands. In a way that no other ever will. And he's the one calling the shots. Not that we don't have choice, but that he is sovereign God.

In the end we will only see that things are made right if we can learn to take it to Jesus, lay it all at his feet and leave it there. Picking it up ensures that we will keep trying to make it all happen on our own. But leaving it there means we are trusting God to take care of it. Fully trusting that his ways are higher than ours. And he knows what is best for us.
