Higher Power Act As If By admin Posted on July 1, 2017 1 min read 0 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Share on Reddit Share on Pinterest Share on Linkedin Share on Tumblr What kind of a fool do you think I am? What’s the point of praying to God? But you say I need do no more than “act as if,” and he will respond? Such nonsense I have never heard; I close my ears to those willful lies. But you say, “That is his will; Try! You will see with your own eyes.” So I do—I act the hypocrite. I “act as if” he lovingly might care… Lo! Daily, my life turns around. My burdened heart is lighter, fair. I do not tell him what to do, nor send shopping lists to the divine. I simply pray: “Help me, Lord. Thy will be done, not mine!” I want to hold this discovery close and tight and keep it hidden with all my might. But you question, “Why my cheery disposition?” So to you I give this exposition! — Anonymous
