As you well say, God cares about who we are, not as much what we do, even for him.Ted M.

How we must go out by faith, and if we err, deal with it according to God's prescribed way, then go on.<br /><br />Thanks.Ted M.

I miss hearing it read.<br /><br />Yancey has written a good book on prayer, and I thought this section was helpful for us, when we struggle with a sin issue or any issue. And he talks at some length there about praying the psalms, as well as other passages.<br /><br />I'm more the spontaneous kind, who struggles (ha) to pray something put in front of me. But I'm more and more seeing the value of doing that.Ted M.
