We will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church (Ephesians 4:15; NLT).
God doesn’t want to hear us say
Just what we think we ought, in prayer:
God only wants us to express
The bitter truths we never share.
God doesn’t want us to recite
Long eulogies, or high-flown pleas:
God only wants us to express
The angry truth, which heals, and frees.
God doesn’t want us to repeat
What others write; to hide, or feign:
God only wants us to express
The brutal truth about our pain.
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done (Philippians 4:6; NLT).
