Are You Asking?
Is your Christian life stagnant? Do you feel as if God rarely answers your prayers? Is there no longer a spark in your walk with the Lord? Have you given up on praying, reading the Bible, or interacting in a local Body of Christ?
Here are some suggestions to ‘jump-start’ your Christian life: Have you asked…
§ For God to give mercy and blessings to those who have personally wronged you, said lies about you, or harmed your reputation?
§ To become less judgmental but rather more willing to show random acts of kindness to those who are less fortunate than you.
§ To be willing to take risks for loving others or having them love you—to say, “I love you” more often with more meaning and feeling.
§ That your personality would be changed from the protectiveness and security that stops you from connecting to people who love you and look after your well being.
§ For God to speak more often to you and that you hear His voice more clearly and substantially.
§ To give up trying to be on the ‘cutting-edge’ of what is the next new thing for the church but rather to just be consistent in doing His will each day—one day at a time.
§ To be excited about the little things God does for you each day and quit looking for Him to do the ‘big-things’ in your life.
§ That you stop planning how God needs to respond to you, what He needs to do for you (and when), and what God’s priorities must be in order for you to have a happy life…instead strive to be happy even though there is nothing to be happy about.
§ To stop being anxious but patient—willing to wait for God to get things done.
§ That you might wake up each morning saying, “Good morning Jesus”; knowing Jesus is enough for you today—realizing everything else are non-essentials.
…for Jesus to go before you and to prepare the day you are about to enter into.
