I could have never guessed where she was going with her introductory story .. funny, yet so true, of how many times we still choose our flesh will to be done instead of His!
I think the "Lord, change me prayer" is indeed frightening, if not the reason behind people staying away from God, in fear of being asked to give up things that they might not be ready to give up. I do not think that anyone is ever ready, yet still able to give up whatever is required (Matt 19:26).
Being more like Christ has been in my prayers lately (to be able to reflect God for people around me to know that He is real, to be able to do His will, for His desires to become min) but just not in details like Stormie puts it. The way I feel might be lacking the most out of the seven in my walk with Christ would be obedience (although i know that obedienceis greater than sacrifice itself (1Sam15:22). I'd say it is mostly due to the inability to being sensitive to God's voice, the inability to discern between His will and mine. Please keep me in mind for your prayers, I want to be able to be fully obedient!
Which do you feel you need to work on the most? I shall keep you in my prayers
BeBlessed!
What's funny is that as I was reading this chapter, I was thinking to myself "man, that's a lot... I don't know if I can become all that" because it requires so much work. But I just LOVED the prayer at the end. It shows that it's not me doing all the work (though I have work to do), but the prayer is all about asking God for help.
ReplyDeleteI need to work most on discipline.
Prayer is the tool men. It doesn't even matter what you ask for he makes it possible. I prayed that God make me discipline in my diet and for the last three months i haven't touched soda. very shocking.
ReplyDeleteThat has been my prayer to lately to be obedient to his will ...doing his will has been my desire n prayer
