As I lace my fingers through each other,
I bow my head and close my eyes as well,
just in case it helps.
Okay, here we go.
God,
please,
Please,
PLEASE,
just give me everything I want.

Amen.

Recently the Lord has been showing me how superficial and unbiblical American "Christianity" is and how much I myself pray for nothing but my own peace and happiness. He is showing me how sinful that is.
