How honest are you when you pray?
Does embarrassment, shame, or guilt impede your prayer life?
If this beautiful passage of John 3:16-21 is to inform our prayer life, it does so by suggesting that we take an approach of "holy transparency" before God.
Got sin?
Confess it.
Take the time to have an honest conversation with God. He already knows anyway. He wants you to come to him. And, in doing so, he'll meet you with everything you need, including the strength to forgive yourself, just as he has forgiven you.
What would it look like for us, as God's children, if we lived, moved, and breathed as though it really were that simple? Because... it really is that simple.
There is not condemnation waiting for you on the other side of this prayer, but Jesus.
And that, my friends, is pretty awesome.
