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

by Craig Groeschel

Instead of simply asking God to do something for you, ask God to reveal something in you.

Because becoming obsessed with what people think about me is the quickest way to forget what God thinks about me. Being obsessed with the approval of others is, in a word, idolatry.

“God, I trust you so much. I know that you love me, that you are always working in me. If you want to do something more in me, then do it. If it’s painful, then I welcome the pain. If you want to use trials to make me stronger, build my faith, make me closer to you, then use them. God, do whatever it takes to free me from my love for this world. To crucify my love of comfort. God, break me.”
