The new prayer

Hi there,

I wanted to pause my writing for a while, to try and figure out how to make my work better and more useful.

I read at-least 10 different books and whole lot of effective blogs, to try and improve my style. At the end of this, I learnt a very valuable lesson.

If you want to work for God. Depend on God. Nothing works better than that.

If He's the Master, then I am the servant. A servant needs to receive an order, fulfill it to the Master's pleasure, and, then wait on Him for his next task. The moment I stop listening to God and obeying commands, all my work amounts to nothing.

When we do certain things for a while, we seem to think "Hey! this comes naturally to me." After some time, it becomes routine. In a while, we become so 'experienced' in our 'calling' that we don't find a need to depend on God. This is where learning stops, and so does real progress.

I badly wanted to take my writing to the next level. Therefore I decided to take a break and wait on God. However, I just ended up doing the contrary. I made God wait. While I was busy working up my own mind; with too much of baseless foresight and wasteful thinking. That is where I got stuck.

All through history, God chose inadequate people to do great tasks. Because, God knew that they would find it easy to depend on Him and follow orders. They won't try to act smart, work on their own and mess up God's perfect plan.

During the past few months, I was deeply wounded by my own thoughts and questions. At the end of a rather very unpleasant ordeal I learnt a new prayer.

"Master, with my abilities, I am always short of Your best. To rely on You, is the only way to perfection."

Will you pray with me?
