              In today's world a lot of people want the best of everything or the perfect things but really what does that mean? I put the meanings of the words in this entry because I wanted to see if there was a difference in them. I think this quote from a friend really means a lot too if we would only take the time to break it down. Let's do both of those things right now. The quote is the first thing on the list. 
              As humans, we want our lives to be the best and prefect in and about everything. We want what we think is best for us but as a believer in Christ, there is another way to look at that saying. We think that getting the best means that we have to work hard for it for ourselves when really we don't have to at all. We really only have to do very little when you think about it. We get to the point where we have done all that we can and then just wait for God to do the rest. We think that when we do it, it is the best that it can be. The best possible but we are wrong. We could never reach the highest quality or most desirable thing that is made for us. We cannot make anything prefect or without flaws or defects or shortcomings. Only God can do that.
             That is why we have a special connection to Him called "Prayer". Now praying for the same thing over and over can get annoying sometimes or not seeing the results right away can also get annoying. Trust me, there have been things that I have prayed about that I want to see the big picture right away but instead God chose to send me little things along the way. It is okay to get annoyed with God. I bet Jesus even did when He was on this earth in human form. Life gives us things to get annoyed about but that is when we have to remember to turn it over to God in prayer. We can't get mad and sin when we are annoyed. If we were never annoyed, I believe that we would never really depend on God as we do or should. I really believe that we wouldn't go to pray with Him more often like we should. 
                Although the feeling of annoyance can get annoying, it is good to have a little bit of it every once in awhile. I know for me when I feel that way I go back to God and try to trust Him in the things that are annoying me. That is when I pray for the Fruit of the Spirit or for the Holy Spirit to take over. That is when I need Peace, Patience, Self-Contorl, Love, Faithfulness, Kindness and so on in my life. Without that feeling of annoyance, how would I know when I need this good things that God made for us? I know this is a strange way to look at prayer and the feeling of annoyance but in a way it is true. We get so caught up in everything being so prefect and at its best when really we shouldn't be like that. We want to be prefect and at best but we are sinful people. We need God to help us no matter how hard we try. 
                I will say that if we want the best internet connection for a great show to a prefect relationship, that God works in all sizes, small and big. We are not prefect, only God is. God is the one that makes us perfect, not ourselves. We can't rely on a brunch of small connections to make a show perfect because that we make us annoyed but we can rely on One Big Connection to make our lives the best they can be and that Big Connection is God. We can't give up on the things we care most about. We just can't but we can have that main connection when things get annoying and take them to God in Prayer. The main Connector of life. When you really think about it that way, life makes sense, doesn't it? I want the Best and Prefect Thing for my life and that is having God as the Center of it by taking everything to Him in Prayer.
