Favorite Book Friday December 18,2020
We’re back! It’s #favoritebookfriday! One week until Christmas! So we’re gonna try to finish this book today so here we go. Next week I’ll probably write something else. I’m still donating shop proceeds so do check it out!
Back to the book. We can pray this “send me” prayer however it’s not a one time thing but daily submission to God. It’s a daily fight to choose it. The flesh and spirit fight constantly about it. What you feed grows. Take time to feed your soul and starve sin. Your soul begins go mature and grow that way. It may be small things God asks you to do but it’s worth it. You can have courage to say yes because you belong to God. You’ll want to be used by him again. There’s blessings and fulfillment come from it. Displaying his splendid and goodness are a wonderful thing. Only if your willing.
Craig’s prayer was for God to have opportunities to exhibit his faith more. That seems hard at first but it becomes enjoyable. It may be huge acts of faith but tiny things in secret. God does the work. Be available it’s risky but pray that dangerous prayer.
We pray the part of the Lord’s Prayer of “your will be done” pray it over your body and all it’s parts specifically. Write a prayer for yourself but this book offers a guide on it. Here I am Lord, send me. May you will be done through me today. At the end of the day you can see the different ways God used you. You took that step of faith today with that dangerous prayer
That’s it for Instagram? The rest will be on the website!
Openness is the essence of this dangerous prayer. Because of what God has done for me, I can go where he need me to. Make my plan your plan. I don’t need the details because I trust you.
This book concludes with one more dangerous prayer which is “disturb me Lord.” It’s definitely a revealing prayer.
Your prayer life would definitely be different if God said yes to everything you prayed. Or those simple prayed that he answers. Nothing really seems different. We need that dangerous prayer. Francis Drake’s prayer of disturb us is powerful. The interruption shows us how far our faith can go. It feels kind of good to be disturbed. I want this for you too. Ask God to search you. Ask him to help you pursue Jesus. You won’t be the same again. Maybe it’s that prayer of God break me. It hurts but you’ll never be the same. The sending seems thrilling then. Instead of living for comfort you’re living for calling. You can’t and won’t stay the same. Pray this dangerous prayer
Chapter Highlights (3.5-3.8 and Conclusion)
We can live submitted to God by feeding our spirits
The simple acts of love often lead to the biggest changes of life.
Have the courage to say yes to God because you understand your life is his.
Instead of living passively, start living aggressively, looking for opportunities to exhibit faith.
It’s simple a matter of being willing, open and available but looking for ways to serve.
When you start your day wholly devoted to God, your mind focuses on what lasts rather than the temporary pleasures of this world. My day matters to God. And it is meaningful to me.
How do you think your life might change if you prayed daily a daring, faith fully prayer of whole life devotion to the one who gave it all for you?
What you pray reveals what you think about God.
It’s time to change the way you pray. It’s time to abandon safe comfortable, predictable and easy to pray prayed. It’s time to start praying dangerous prayers. It’s time to be disturbed.
