LLLV19 5-2-2019 Karl Barth on Prayer an Uprising
Anonymous writer shared this:
A prayer to be said
When the world has gotten you down,
And you feel rotten,
And you’re too doggone tired for words,
And you’re in a big hurry,
And besides, you’re mad at everybody,
And you feel like only a miracle can save you…
“HELP!”
Prayer is many things to many people, and I think I have used every one of them at some time in my adventurous life. Here’s a Prayer thought by Karl Barth:
“To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world.”
“An UPRISING against the disorder of the world!”
As a country theologian would state it, “Since Adam plunged the human race into sin under the Eden Apple Tree, the entire Creation is in Chaos, standing on tip-toe, awaiting the revelation of the glorious Sons of God.”
Have you ever prayed or heard a prayer thanking God that everything is right? Perhaps such a prayer would sound something like this:
“Lord, I thank you that I have more money than I ever imagined, my neighbors are the best, my children are perfect, my wife understands me, (That’ll be the day) every man, woman, and child, is right with Jesus and even better than I, Russia has given up trying to ruin America and the Democrats have called off all investigations. And, Lord, thank you that President Trump has quit cussin!”
(Republicans would be thankful if the President quit cussin. Democrats would be joyously thankful that at long last God has raised a President who out cusses President Truman!)
