Nim’s newest scheme is setting up God’s Hotline, but we already have that. It’s called prayer. #pray #prayer #jesuschrist #sonofgod #iamachristian #warroom
Nim: I think God needs a hotline!
Con: How do you see that working?
Nim: First we set up a voicemail system.
Phone: You've reached the 24 hour Hotline To Heaven. If this is an emergency, please drop down to your knees and start praying immediately.
Nim: Then we collect info to redirect the calls.
Phone: Please listen carefully, as our menu options have changed because of Christ's saving grace. For health issues, press 1... For marriage, press 2...
Con: I don't like this idea.
Nim: Wait! You haven't heard about the sponsorship opportunities.
We each already have our own personal "Hotline to Heaven." It's called prayer.
Ever feel like you’re not getting something you want? Just say a prayer for God to help you. He’s got a plan and he knows our needs before we even need it.
Nim: It is so hot outside! I'm burning up! Why is God making me so hot this summer?
Con: God's already taken care of you. He made it so that when a dog gets hot, he pants. Why don't you try that?
Nim: I don't have any pants.
It’s easy to let the stress of today’s world get you down. But instead of complaining, say a prayer today asking God to help you recognize your blessings.
Don’t look for God to just be a big vending machine, where you pull a lever and what you ask for drops down. Keep your prayers sincere and Christ-centered.
Nim: You lied to me! You said prayer works, but it doesn't!
Con: What?
Nim: I prayed for a million dollars and I didn't get squat.
Con: That's not prayer! Thats just looking to God to just give you what YOU want. Honest prayer is selfless and sincere. It draws you closer to God.
Nim: I guess I need to call the dealership and cancel my Porsche, huh?
Con: A Porsche? What would you do with a Porsche?
Con: Give it to my owner so I could hang my head out the window like this!
A lack of gratitude makes it difficult to ever be truly happy. If you’re feeling beaten down and have started complaining, make a date for prayer time with God.
