Why is it that people can be more sincere with a social networking site than they can be with God when in reality it’s only God that can help? I'm not saying that it’s wrong to post how you feel on Facebook; there is no problem with that because the status bar does ask what is on your mind. I'm just saying that it makes no sense expressing anything and everything that you truly feel on a website but not doing the same with God. When it’s time to pray you should tell Him how you really feel inside. I've noticed that when we go to a church service it’s ridiculously easy to go with the flow because it seems like the right way to do things. You hear people crying out, singing and praising God and it’s easy to do the same. If you want to cry, why not cry? If you've had a bad day, why not say so? Let out what you hold inside. Imagine you have an appointment with a councillor and you’re in tears. He asks you what is wrong and you say ‘nothing’s wrong. Today has been such a great day!' The councillor can clearly see that you are not okay because he can see your tears, but he won’t be able to help you. It’s the same with God; He can see all the pain that you hold inside and the burden that’s on your shoulders but what can He do if you don't open up? He wants to be the One that you can rely on and tell all your secrets to, just like you do with your best friend. He wants you to be sincere with Him. You don't need to be afraid, just think to yourself, would you rather just make a nice prayer and go home in the same way or be real, then ask for help, receive it and go home blessed?
