Answered Prayers.

To be completely honest with you, this whole bailout thing is exactly what the American people need.  It is what I need.  I label myself as the problem in the economy.  I have debt.  None of it bad debt but debt is debt.  Seeing that the U.S. Government wants to bail these rich guys out that made a mess at Wall Street does not surprise me nor does it make me ask, "Well why don't they bail me out?"  However it does make me ask the question, is God answering our prayers?  Scary thought.

For the longest time now we (American Christians) have asked God to come back to our land. We have begged him in song and in prayers and in liturgies that we sense His absence here so we want Him to come back.  The thing is, we expect Him to fall in line with the American way.  I know, I know, here I go again talking about God not being an American or doing what we say.  But seriously, we have prayed for Him to do His will and He might just be doing that.

With the fail of the passing of the $700 billion bail-out or "rescue plan" flat out scares me.  But what scares me even more is God actually answering our prayers.  His way is the best way, I know that.  But God doesn't have an agenda that looks like ours.  His "bail-out" plan might look a lot like us not getting into debt and a lot of people at Wall street going bankrupt.  It might even mean us getting a little uncomfortable.  

So I wonder, is God answering our prayers?
