Thank you so much Carolyn. I really appreciate it. The controversial posts always get the most attention but it is posts like this one that mean the most to me. This was a realization that really struck me and means a lot to me.

What came out loud and clear is that, for the early Christians, their acclaimations of faith often lead them to martyrs death in the most horrible ways. I cannot say that my faith is strong enough for that, but I do sometimes wonder if praying for particular things implies that I need to let God know what He needs to take care of, which doesn’t make sense, when you think of it. This is a thorny issue, but I do believe that there is a deep mystery in this, where we come to God in our need because we have no one else to turn to. Thank you for your thoughtful essay. It helped me formulate these thoughts that have been churning away, unformed and unuttered.
