A woman from Immanuel recently shared with me an interaction between her and her 3 year old daughter. The daughter had come to her saying something about scary monsters. The mother had asked if they were pretend monsters. The exchange then went like this:
"Yes, but they're pretending to be real."
"Your pretend monsters are pretending to be real?"
"Yes, my pretend monsters are pretending to be real."
I have the same problem with my pretend monsters. Or, as Neil Young once wrote, "Though my problems are meaningless, that don't make them go away."
My prayer this week is that the reality of God might fill up my life and banish my pretend monsters.
