Lying to God

You can’t pray a lie. ~ Mark Twain

Can you lie to God? You can certainly say words
that aren't true, can misstate facts,
but if you know it's false, doesn't that negate prayer?
It's not that we can't say horrid things to God,
heartfelt lamentations, angry tirades. That's okay,
honest communication, and God welcomes honesty.
But when we lie, we're assuming God's less than God,
that he's just not that smart, that we can put something over
and that makes us the god, and we're talking to ourselves,
not really lying to God.
