does God care?

God, do you care?

What a great question posed by the disciples.  What a great prayer!

Yes, that's right.  Asking God if He's awake is a tremendous prayer.  It may seem that the disciples are losing faith in the face of what must have been a terrible storm for experienced fishermen to be so afraid.  Yet they're praying. 

Would that I would have the faith to pray in just this way.  Jesus, are you awake.  Do you see this?  How do you feel about it? Are you who you say you are?  Are you going to do anything?

I dare say it's God's favorite prayer, when I have the faith to dare Him to do something.

It's crazy the storms I'm willing to go through if only He reveals that He cares.

Make this your prayer today.  God, do you care?
