What a friend we have in Jesus!
There's no wrong way to do it. There's no bad time to start. It don't have to sound pretty. Just tell Him what's on your heart. Cuz it's not a religion. Cuz it's more like a friendship. Just talk to your Father like you are His kid. Just start talking to Jesus.
Here's to all the parents and grandparents who have prayed over and taken their kids to church over all the years. Those prayers are powerful. The example set is priceless.
Being friends with Jesus has been a big theme so far. I love the familiar story of this song. I love the simplicity of the message. If you've never prayed in your life, it can be so simple to just talk to Jesus. And if you've been praying for decades it might be good to just talk to Jesus like you would your best friend.
It can be so good to embrace the paradoxes of my faith. Yes, Jesus is Lord of Lords and King of Kings sitting at the right hand of the Father interceding for us constantly. He is also the friend that sticks closer than a brother. I'm still developing that friendship. Learning to literally chat with Him throughout the day about all the things. Learning to give Him space to respond.
