Psalm 5
What can we say to you, Lord,
That you really want to hear?
We can praise you, though you
Have a host in heaven for that.
We can’t touch you, so absolutely,
That many choose not to believe.
You made happiness and sorrow;
What can we do to have you happier?
Well, sorrowful, we do believe
That we can act in such a way
To bring you sorrow—maybe a
Reflecting of our own feeling
When having done something wrong or
Or simply receiving the saddest news
Of loss or abandonment. So is
There anything we might do
For you? I’m thinking that there’s
Nothing, but I’m also thinking
I’m mistaken. In free will and our
Discretion, I imagine we can do
Something on our own that pleases you.

I always think of that question, “What can I do for you, God?” A lot of the time, whenever people pray it’s because they are asking Him for something, and I truly wonder how often people just ask him if He needs our help. No doubt he does, in getting His word out. Lovely piece, very thought provoking.

Thanks. Sometimes I really don’t get it. How we could add to God’s pleasure or even, as you say, God’s need. But the trying goes on, not in a fatalistic way or always in a pleasant way for ourselves. I’m thinking of what the children were told about Aslan: He is not safe, but he is good. I guess we have to keep trying to be good. And somehow God is pleased.

Thanking Him for even the smallest blessing and living upto His expectations, live within the rules of His book and seeking knowledge about religion, is what I believe can be done for the countless blessings we receive!! Awsme piece!!! I loved it ❤
