“Just tell me what happened recently,” the dermatologist said tersely.
Since I was a new patient and my problem started several years earlier, I felt frustrated.
I left my appointment feeling l could have gotten more information on Google.
And I thought of my Lord.
When I talk to Him, I’m often repetitive, sharing minute details and events from my past, taking side trips instead of getting straight to the point of my prayers.
But I never feel like I’m “on the clock” with the Great Physician.
Never does He say, “Just tell Me what happened recently,” even though He knows everything I’m going to say before I say it.
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.” Psalm 147:3-5
Can I get an “Amen"?
