A Prayer to The Do-nothing God
A prayer to The Do-nothing God. That’s what Habakkuk, the 6th century BC Old Testament prophet, could write at the top of his prayer journal entry. And I imagine for every human being had had a time and place where we would have labeled our prayer that way as well. Interestingly enough, a prayer to the do nothing God is still a prayer. Habakkuk doesn’t pick up a worldview with No God, as if that would be a help. With his frustration, in his case about corruption among leaders and institutions, he prays, in raw fashion.
The preservation of Habakkuk, in written form, tells us that God can handle our frustration and gives permission to praying. Do you feel you can be honest with God? In this season of His advent, may it be so for you.
