I've been thinking about the mess our world is in and feel like crying.    Jesus was on the cross and cried out an honest prayer, "My God, My God why have you forsaken me."  This was not original with Him.  He had probably heard Psalm 22 quoted by a Rabbi.  In a book about prayer, Help, Wow and Thanks , Anne Lamott writes, 'Hello, is there anyone out there?  Am I too far gone, or can you help me get out of my isolated self-obsession?"  "I am exhausted and depressed beyond words, and I don't like You at all right now..." Yes, honesty with God is an absolute necessity. In fact, is unavoidable. Larry Wishard

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy. Rabindranth Tagore
