omniscient

My friend had a job interview today and I said I'd pray for it. But I forgot.

I feel rubbish, and I'm really sorry A. I know your frustrations with work and I really meant to be praying. However, I didn't write it down, and I got distracted by snow, and I just forgot. 

But it made me wonder how God views our prayer life in light of chronology. I'm going to pray now for A and his work situation. However, if God is truly omniscient, would he not know before A's interview that I would be praying the evening after, and so my prayers would still be valid and counted? Humanly, there is no point praying now for a different outcome for the one that happened, but could I not still belatedly pray for peace and wisdom and guidance? God would have known my intentions and actions before even the sun was born. 

I completely believe and trust in the immense power of prayer, and not that it is just a one-way conversation with a dictatorial deity. I just can't really comprehend the hugeness of His sovereignty, our weakness, and most of all, how he works outside of any notion of time we might hold. G once sent me an article about this and I should really read it again, as the whole idea just blows my mind. 

Theology over for the evening. In other news I had a slight mid-life crisis this afternoon and bought a ridiculous pair of sequinned leggings. If you are lucky enough to see me on my birthday or at the rollerdisco you may get to see them. Cover your eyes.
