So last night I was praying...

Jesus was asked in John 6 verse 28, "What must we do to do the works God requires?" Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."
I'm reading slowly through the gospel of John right now. My favorite book in the Bible. I get in "doing mode" so often that I end up trusting in my good works and efforts. Jesus is reminding me here- it is more about being than doing. More about trusting and depending on Him.
So last night I was praying about something and I actually was trusting more in Him than in the effort put in the prayer or the correct wording of the prayer. It felt good. It felt right. It felt faith filled. "The work of God is this: to believe in Him." Later, Stephen
