I have a hard time with that one, too. I can’t even imagine doing that.
That’s the whole problem, My friend. That’s the whole problem.

I should think it would take a lot of nerve for people to start demanding things of God.
I prefer the word “courage.” Yes, I’ve already told you that having a true, working friendship
with God will take a change of mind, a change of heart, and courage.
How can I rearrange my entire understanding of my right relationship with God to the point
where I get that it’s okay for me to demand things of God?
Not simply okay, but the best way to get results.
Okay, but how do I get this? How do I reach that understanding?
As I’ve said, you’ve got to understand, first, how things really work. That is, how life works.
But we’ll get into that in a minute. First, let’s lay down the Seven Steps to Friendship with
God.
Good, I’m ready.
One: Know God.
Two: Trust God.
Three: Love God.
Four: Embrace God.
Five: Use God.
Six: Help God.
Seven: Thank God.
You may use these same Seven Steps with anyone of whom you choose to make a friend.
You really could, couldn’t you?
Yes. In fact, you probably do use them, unconsciously.
