How Can I convince you

When I was a lot younger, whenever I was crushing on a girl, I would pray to God that they would like me. “God,” I would say, “Please help so-and-so to like me.” I knew what I wanted. I wanted God to help my little 12 year old heart to find fulfillment, affirmation, love.

I learned eventually that these girls that I liked did like me back. So have I outgrown this tendency to pray for love? Definitely not. My track record was a lot better when I was 12. And even if it wasn’t, there’s still that chance. What if she doesn’t feel the same way? Or more specifically, what if she’s completely over it?
