Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     We need to stay simple before the Lord.
     One reason there is so little prayer is because we have not learned to really leave
the burden with Him.  Sometimes the burden has to be put down over and over, but
it does have to be put down.
     When we go into prayer with a design for the answer, we stumble over our own
concept of how things should be, rather than presenting the matter to a Lord who said
we could just come to Him and lay the thing down.
     He just wants us to come.  He will even lead us in prayer if we are willing, but first 
we have to come to him.
     Of course we are perplexed - we have no capacity to see how He will do it, but we
certainly know He will.
     Nothing has changed - He still wants us to come to Him in simplicity and with 
expectant hearts.
