Praying hard for a friend tonight.
It seems like we are always looking for drama. We look for it in the lives of our friends. We look for it in our own lives. We always have to have something to talk about, brag about, complain about, until we run it in the ground. Our culture craves it; some of us even become addicted to it.
Until something happens out of our control, something that might not go away after the evening news or next printing of the tabloid. Then we've had enough of drama and can't pray it away fast enough.
That's got nothing to do with my friend and what he's going through. It's just something I've noticed about society. And myself.
Next time you find yourself caught up in drama that's not all that important, try taking a moment to pray for someone, even someone you don't know, going through actual trials, injustices, and heartache. See if it changes your perspective. See if God shows you something more eternal.
What happened to my friend is unfair, and I'll keep praying for him. God's already had a hand in protecting him, and I expect to see more of God in this situation.
