Why we’re addicted to easy prayers.

Adventures aren’t easy.

Errands are easy.

The problem is that’s the life most of us pray for.

We want journeys where the destination is guaranteed. We want adventures where the danger is controllable. We want voyages where we can still see the land at all times.

And so we end up with errand lives.

Driving to a job where you don’t give it your all is an errand.

Phoning in a marriage you thought would be all fireworks is an errand.

Praying big, comfy, safe prayers is an errand.

Is life always an adventure? Of course not. There are ups and downs and more plains than mountains.

But is following a God an errand? Will faith always be easy, comfortable or painless? Will the way always be clear and simple.

Nope. I’m afraid not.

Errands are easy.

Adventures never are.
