There is no burden you can pour on God that He will need therapy for.
You see, um... One of my heroes is C.S. Lewis, and he explained Eros and Philia in a very profound way.
He said Eros, which is romantic love, is two people standing opposite each other, looking at each other in amazement.
But Philia is different. It's two people standing side by side, looking at an object, and then looking at each other and saying, "You too?" And the other person says, "Me too." He calls that friendship.
Now, how do we have friendship with God?
Because He's far above in Heaven, and we are dust. You know, who dash monkey?
How?
How in the world do we want to have friendship with this eternal, great, powerful, loving, perfect Being?
Jesus comes.
And Jesus' coming gives us the opportunity to qualify to have friendship with God.
And what's that friendship?
They can break your heart, you can experience betrayal, and you can look at Jesus and say, "You too?"
And He says, "Me too. I experienced it too."
You can say, "I just experienced loss."
He looks at you and says, "You too?"
And He says, "Me too. Me too."
We have that friendship.
And that friendship is what people actually call fellowship.
It's not, you know, when people hear, "Let's fellowship with God," it sounds very mechanical, like, "It's time to pray. It's time to..."
But fellowship with God means God's interests interest me, and I just want to sit with Him.
I want to talk to Him.
I want to pour out my heart.
In fact, if you understand what I'm saying, you'd understand that telling God you can't pray is already praying.
"Ah, Lord, I can't pray."
Because prayer is simply communication with God.
"God, I'm really struggling to pray. I need help praying. I need You..."
You're already praying! You're already praying!
Instead of murmuring and talking to people who will carry your gist, yeah.
You see this life: "Who likes you? Who said what about you? Who..."
So, why not just pour it out to God?
You see, there is no burden you can pour on God that He will need therapy for.
Yea Abi?
The Bible says, "The government shall be upon His shoulders."
There's a song that says, "Oh, what needless pain we bear..."
Sometimes, we carry what God is asking us to give Him.
Talk to God. Pour out your heart. He can handle it.
