Awkward Conversations with God

from A Stranger in the House of God · host John Koessler

Send us Fan MailI have found that God is not much of a conversationalist. He is mostly silent when I talk to Him. Not that I am such a good conversationalist either. My prayers tend to be repetitive, made up of the same requests every time. My attention span is short. I suppose that if I were the one on the other side of the conversation, I would probably be too bored to respond too. But at least I say something. God, as far as I can tell, doesn’t say anything. I pray and all I get in return is an awkward silence.Dr. John Koessler is an award-winning writer and retired faculty emeritus of Moody Bible Institute.
