In2Freedom Vlog: Praying, Not Fixing

The more I learn about prayer, the more I realize that God isn’t nearly as interested in my ideas for fixing things as I once imagined. Or, perhaps I never even imagined that he was interested because I was too busy being interested in my own ideas myself! Whatever the case, God has been working on me to stop trying to figure out and fix things, but to pray the way the apostle Paul has been teaching me in Colossians 1:9-14. 

On the Saturday of Easter weekend 2022 I fulfilled a long-time desire to hike a particular backroad that carved its way along the hillside to the northeast of our community. 

I enjoyed sight of a number of mule deer, 

and discovered a part of the range land where blue birds seemed to be in abundance. 

Along the way I was pondering the things God had taught me earlier in my time alone with him in his word. I was quite sure I’m not the only one who has a propensity to struggle with prayer while having no problem coming up with my own ideas of what I should do. 

Since God was making the difference so clear to me, it was easy to share these things in a video that might encourage you as well.
