If God took phone calls I would have the number on speed dial. I would wait patiently for my opportunity to call each and every day. I would want to ask so many questions; but I would fear so many of the answers I might get.

There are so many times when I wish God took phone calls. Just for a quick 30 seconds to be able to check in, or for an even quicker call to just say, "Help me."

I would want to be able to hear an actual response to my prayers and to my deepest, darkest pleas in the way that all humans crave a response, rather than relying on the faith that life will provide one when we least expect it.

If God took phone calls, I would ask him to talk so I could listen. I would ask why I feel so alone in a crowded room sometimes; or why the world is such a place of confusion and chaos.

If God took phone calls I would hope that every person I ever loved could have a moment on the line just to check in and let me know that they are doing well. I would want to feel their presence with me.

If God took phone calls I would ask for clarity in the path of life I am on and for a new perspective on the world. Maybe this way I could see past the fog and understand the "why" and "how" of the world around me.

Most of all, though, if God took phone calls I would say thank you for today and ask for love and guidance in tomorrow. There is no one phone call I can think of that could give a more powerful sense of confidence, love, and guidance than this one. For now, I will talk to God through the breeze rushing into the car windows, and the into the sunshine of today, and the sunset of tomorrow.
