Not only is she comfortable with herself, she is comfortable enough with God to be herself with him. It was after some mediation that I realized that she did not always have this relationship with God. Friendships take time and are built through sharing our hopes and disappointments, our dreams and nightmares. We must first become acquainted before we can become intimate. Our initial prayers, like all first conversations between strangers, may be awkward and tentative, perhaps even of a shallow nature in the beginning.
Friendship requires trust but true trust in a relationship comes only through shared experiences.
Trust can't come secondhand or through reputation or from a book. We must learn for ourselves firsthand if our friend is dependable and we for him. Saying that I trust God is one thing. Saying that God always comes through for me is more impressive because the statement requires personal experience. Coming through for God consistently is rarer still.
