Prayer Insight 2

so you may have heard the joke about the guy that's riding his bicycle by the edge of a cliff the wind comes blows him over he grabs as he's falling down onto a tree sticking out of the air from the edge of the rock face he looks down is a hundred metres he looks up it's 100 meters and he's an atheist so he's sweating away he looks up he says God you know if you're up there I've been thinking about things recently a rather a lot and I philosophically came to the conclusion right now that you could well be that you really there and I really want to apologize from the depths of my heart for ignoring you and what you want from me the whole of my life but from here on him in we're like this I'll do whatever you want just tell me what to do and I'll be there for you here's this booming voice coming from the heavens saying my son I love you I forgive you and I'll help you oh I really appreciate it thank you so much just tell me what to do the voice says let go of the tree he looks down he looks up anybody else out there as a famous joke but the essence of the joke is to teach us that there's no atheists in a foxhole that even the biggest atheists who's ignored God his whole life will turn at times of trouble to the Almighty for help what does it mean it means that we all intuitively understand that there's a being there that you can call out to you don't have to write a letter you don't have to make a phone call you get through every time and that being loves us and he loves us unconditionally because even if we've ignored him the whole our whole life yo he'll come back and he'll help us and not only that he has the power he could intervene in nature and change the whole reality of existence for you Wow and even an atheist understands that so we should appreciate that ourselves yeah death in a lie it's not just the difficult times it's not just when people get sick it's not just when we have hard times but he's there all the time he doesn't just swoop in and help at a time of difficulty he runs the world and he cares about us and we should realize that through our day take that with us be with him all the time when whatever it is in your life realize he is there he'll help you whatever it is live with the almighty throughout the day he's there he controls nature he loves you unconditionally he'll be there for you have a wonderful Chavez
