I remember an acquaintance of ours once saying “So-and-so fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down.”
Some days I think he might say that about me.
Today I was driving home from the grocery store and all of a sudden I realized that I was praying that something would “happen” so that the couple who booked the wedding photographer that Maggie and Austin want would…you know…cancel.
Now, I didn’t pray that the couple who booked him would be struck dead or break up or anything. But still, it was kind of like I was asking the godfather to “fix” a basketball game or something.
And then I shook myself as I turned the corner at the stoplight and thought “I’m a terrible human being! That’s such a stupid prayer! I should be praying for Obama, Africa, or global warming.”
Do you think “stupid” is a word in God’s vocabulary? Is there such a thing as a “stupid prayer”?
