Back-Seat Driver

The back-seat driver tells the one driving the car what the back-seat driver wants and how to get there.  Isn't the "Our Father" prayer about "Your will be done?" Most of us pray as back-seat drivers.  We cannot manage our lives, that is drive, but we can tell God what we want and how God should go about getting us there.  I prefer the more honest approach.  I tell God how unhappy I am with how things are going, including the apparent absence of God at work in my life.  God can take the heat.  It is in the Bible.  Then I say, "Having had my honest whine, God, now your will be done."  I sleep better.
