Vlad,

I looked it up, since I am trying to learn all these new things I read:

defineom - Google Search

Quite a few definitions for POM, one of which is:

pommy: a disparaging term for a British person

HTH, :H:H
Cindi

I sensed you meant it in an affectionate manner, LG.

I remember during another service crying begging for God to just take the problem away and I heard Him say to me, 'I cannot just take this away, this is a decision you need to make - but I will walk with you every step of the way.'

At the time my relationship with God had dwindled because of my drinking but His relationship with me has always remained constant.

I've prayed, too, for God to just SNAP his Almighty fingers and make all my problems (or just this one??) go away...

Seems it doesn't work that way. I have to make it known what my REAL intentions are.. or something.

This was my "message from God" today:
"I am your Healer, your Joy. With noiseless footsteps I draw near to you. I need no agonized pleading. Your need is My Call."

... no "agonized pleading" necessary!? (I seem to do that... often.)

I guess it's about being true. Not "half-way", as I seem to be...

So true, reminds me once of when I began a prayer with 'agonising pleading' - I realised part way through that I'd just launched into all my wants & worries and not said thank you God once for the good things he'd blessed me with that day, I then began an 'agnonising apology' and I just heard the still, small voice of God say, 'Stop, don't you know I would answer your prayers no matter.'

There is no set structure on how we need to pray. No eloquent words or phrases. We just need to talk to Him as ourselves.
