Dangerous Prayers? | Ep 25 Bible In-Depth

If you were to give your prayer life a rating out of 100, what would you give yourself? A large majority of Christians get by with “checking in with God” here and there whenever it’s convenient to them. But even more than that, a large majority of Christians shy away from praying dangerous prayers because let’s be honest... they’re scary. Approaching God in prayer and asking Him to break you of your pride, comfort, security, selfishness, impatience, judgement, etc, is absolutely terrifying. But there comes a point in every Christians relationship with God where He is calling them to something more. He pushes and nudges you to take the occasional leap of fully giving something over to him for your own growth. Most of the time we brush off these nudges and politely decline, only to later pray for a deeper relationship with God and being confused why it feels like He’s not answering our prayers. The simple truth is God is going to let you grow as deep in your relationship with Him as you strive for, the problem is that’s going to require YOU giving up control and doing things YOU don’t want to do. So you get to make the choice. Would you rather see, understand and experience God in a way you’ve never felt before... or would you rather have your comforts? I’m not trying to pressure you to one side or the other, I’m just saying don’t get upset when you feel your prayer life and relationship with God seems lack luster because you’re the only person holding you back from praying a dangerous prayer.
