Description

This book is a collection of idioms used in daily conversations. The author uses them in combination with biblical principles and stories to provide guidance for living.
Homespun Prayers is a collection of prayers seeking God’s will in life as the author strives to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. The author talks conversationally with God, using idioms to parallel scriptures and seeking His thoughts about scriptures and their application to daily decisions. Some of the prayers will give you reason to smile or laugh while others may bring tears to your eyes. You will be encouraged to “pray continuously” about whatever is facing you at the moment.

Introduction
Ain’t Over till the Fat Lady Sings
All Over but the Shouting
An Ace up Your Sleeve
Ask No Questions
Asleep at the Wheel/Switch
Back on Her Feet
Back to the Wall
Backed into a Corner
Bad Blood between Them
Barking up the Wrong Tree
Be There with Bells On
Beggars Can’t Be Choosers
Best Things Come in Small Packages
Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Bit Off More Than I Could Chew
Bless Your Heart
Blind Leading the Blind
Born with a Silver Spoon in Her Mouth
Bottom Line
Bucking the System
Burning a Hole in His Pocket
Bursting at the Seams
Busy as a Beaver
Butting Heads
Calls Them on the Carpet
Came Through with Flying Colors
Can’t Get a Word in Edgewise
Can’t Have Your Cake and Eat It Too
Can’t Put Toothpaste Back in the Tube
Changed His Tune
Changing of the Guard
Chewed Up and Spit Out
Come to Jesus Moment
Comparing Apples and Oranges
Connecting the Dots
Cream of the Crop
Cup of Cold Water
Diamond in the Rough
Dime a Dozen
Dip Toe in the Water
Don’t Paint Yourself into a Corner
Don’t Poke the Bear
Don’t Throw in the Towel
Drop in the Bucket
Drop It like a Hot Potato
Easier Said than Done
Elephant in the Room
Every Tom, Dick, and Harry
Fell off the Track
Few and Far Between
Finger on the Pulse
Fly on the Wall
Get to the Root of the Problem
Give an Arm and a Leg
Go Back to the Drawing Board
Going against the Grain
Got Her Panties All in a Wad
Heard It through the Grapevine
Hit the Bull’s Eye
Hit the Ground Running
Hung Out to Dry
Icing on the Cake
In One Ear and out the Other
In the Weeds
Itchy Trigger Finger
Johnny-on-the-Spot
Keep Your Eye on the Ball
Leap of Faith
Let It Roll off Your Back like Water off a Duck’s Back
Letter of the Law
Like Stirring Up a Hornet’s Nest
Making a Mountain out of a Molehill
Not a Magic Pill
Not a Spring Chicken
Off the Charts
On the Same Page
Put On Your Thinking Cap
Returned Fire with Fire
Right on the Nose
Right the Ship
Ruffled Feathers
Save His Hide
Scratches an Itch
Seeing Things in a Different Light
Sight for Sore Eyes
Snake in the Grass
Snug as a Bug in a Rug
So Hungry My Stomach Could Eat My Backbone
Spread like Wildfire
Steel Your Spine
Stood Out like a Sore Thumb
Stop and Smell the Roses
Stop the World
Teach an Old Dog New Tricks
Vengeance Is Mine
Watered Down
When Life Throws You a Lemon
Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
You Reap What You Sow
Your Neck of the Woods

Dedicatory Pr ayer
Lord God, since this is a book of prayers, please use it as my offer of a living sacrifice to You. Please use Your Holy Spirit to bless the readers as they participate in a few of the conversations You and I have had over the last year.

Where do I start with appreciation? There are so many people to whom I need to say a huge “Thank you” but I think the greatest appreciation and thanks goes to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who is the source of our grace and who opened up the throne room of heaven in a way that allows each of us to go before the Father with our most private thoughts and feelings, our requests, and our questions. God knows what we are thinking so why
