PRAYER, GUIDANCE THROUGH

An aircraft pilot was following a major highway and observing the traffic below. One particular car caught his attention. The driver was attempting to pass a large truck, but because of oncoming traffic and no-passing zones, he was not able to pass safely. Over and over again, just as he would pull out, an oncoming vehicle would force him to retreat. The pilot, being able to see several miles down the highway, thought to himself, “If I could only talk to the driver, I could tell when and where it is safe to pass.”

God, of course, is the ultimate Pilot and his perfect knowledge is exactly what we need to guide our life. Prayer is how we talk to God, and as we learn to listen to his responses, we will find the guidance we seek.1024

A woman asked G. Campbell Morgan, “Do you think we ought to pray about even the little things in life?”

Dr. Morgan, in his typically understated British manner, replied, “Madam, can you think of anything in your life that is big to God?”1025
