“As I
recall my own life of prayer, prayers I have heard and conversations I’ve had
about prayer, I can’t help but wonder if the coke machine isn’t our primary teacher
of prayer. Think about it. We put in the correct change, make our selection,
and get what we want.
“For
everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone
who knocks, the door will be opened.”
So we offer
the coins of our wants and needs, our beliefs, and our good behaviour. We tell
God what we want and expect to get what we asked for.
