The best cordless phone ever

Cordless phones can sometimes be a real pain can they not?  They, like TV remotes, have a propensity to get "lost".  Of course they get "lost" because we forget to put them back in their cradle...except I always put it back......or so I tell my wife.  Ahem!  That's what makes me sure that there is a cordless phone thief in the house, just as I am positive there is the sock gremlin in the dryer.

Allowing the cordless phone thief to "lose" the phone is a minor mishap or event.  It may be a situation that requires a quick prayer, maybe not.  It is certainly not as grave a situation as an illness in the family, a disturbing financial crisis, or matters similar in their potential to cause you and the family concern.  During the course of the average day we all run into, create, become aware of, or observe situations where a quick prayer can be a logical and reasonable action.  (By the way, God is B.I.G., and He can handle our prayers....don't not pray because you think you are being pesky).  The thing is, don't we kind of get to the point where we think we may be overdoing this prayer thing?  So then, don't we just kind of not pray until the big stuff comes along, the heavy duty stuff that grabs our hearts?  Or maybe we fall prey (no pun there) to our own laziness (something that really kind of should be prayed about, but doesn't...because we get lazy).

Here's the point:  Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout life".

I'm sure that I don't use my "steering wheel" anywhere near like how the examples have been shown in the owner's manual....The Bible.  Duh...."that directs the right path throughout life"....perhaps that is why I, and perhaps you struggle with being off course just a bit here and then.  You know, God invented the best cordless phone ever.....it's been around for centuries.  This is one that won't get "lost", and we don't have to look beyond ourselves to use it.

And we need to use it anytime....anytime at all!  We can't wear out this cordless phone.
