Never lie to an X-ray technician because they can see right through you.
An old joke I shared with the young woman who did the CT Scan on my right knee yesterday. Sometime early next year, I will have knee replacement done on it. She asked me if I was glad to get it done. I told her that while it will be nice to be able to walk better and such, I do not look forward to being stuck at home for a few weeks with nothing to do and nowhere to go except physical therapy.
When I think about prayer, I also think about how Jesus can see right through us. As Jesus said of the Father in Matthew 6:8
“Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.”
God sees everything. That can be comforting when I think about the fact that he knows my needs before I ask. It could also be frightening if I think about my mistakes or sins. But then we have Jesus as our advocate saying we belong to him.
There is no reason to try to hide things from God. We can’t anyway. But we can come into his presence as we are and receive grace and mercy in our time of need.
I may have told the young woman a few other jokes before I left. All in all, it was not a bad experience.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
