What if we’re seeing prayer mostly backwards? What if the main point of prayer is to get our attention?
Sometimes slowing ourselves is the fastest path to growing ourselves.
If we follow the path of least resistance, we slip into the trance of the tolerable and start trading the effort and anxiety of ‘better’ for the rest and comfort of ‘normal’.
Earthly pleasures were never meant to permanently satisfy, but only to suggest and awaken our desire for eternal fulfillment.
Whether it’s what we’ve seen in His creation, felt through His Spirit, or heard from His Word: Everything in this life is a shadow to get us to go find what’s behind.
Without God, and His standard of good, we’re forced to believe in nature-only morals that conflict with the supernatural instinct we all feel.
What got you out of bed and led you to want to do what you’re doing today?
In my search for truth, the ’science says’ crew wasn’t leaving room for God – in spite of our instincts; but the ‘God says’ gang wasn’t leaving room for science – in spite of the logic.
If you ask God to increase your faith, He’s gonna ask you to deal with your doubt, by trusting Him enough to follow His game plan.
