The great thing about God is that he’s always there. And he knows everything. You don’t even have to tell him. He’s been listening in and has it figured out already. That saves you a lot of time.

So this morning, I was feeling a bit stressed out, because I had this big presentation coming up at work, and it’s like, the most important presentation I’ve ever had to give. It could mean a big promotion, and a big raise, and I’ve been wanting to get the new iPhone for a while.<\/p>\n

So all I’m asking for is one small little favor. And is it too much to ask for the least bit of acknowledgment that God’s going to help out, because if I know he’s got my back, then why bother reviewing my presentation? You know what I’m saying? Why stress it if the big guy is looking out for me?<\/p>\n

No. God, as usual, declined to respond. He’s so fucking passive aggressive.<\/p>\n
