Dangerous Prayers: Because Following Jesus Was Never Meant to Be Safe

by Craig Groeschel

Prayers are inherently dangerous.

What we fear the most often reveals where we trust God the least.

To please God, to serve him, to honor him, to live for him, you cannot be driven by fear. You must be led by faith.

the pathway to your greatest potential is often straight through your greatest fear.

Your deepest need becomes a gift when it moves you to depend on Christ.

we should be thankful for the way God uses hardship to perfect us:

“It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until he has hurt him deeply.”

To be wholly useful to God, we have to be empty of self.

We too are to die to ourselves, so we can live for him.

True brokenness before God isn’t a one-time event; it’s a daily decision.

until we see ourselves as sinners, we’ll never fully understand Jesus as the Savior.

If God said yes to every prayer you prayed in the last seven days, how would the world be different?
