Reading in Philip Yancey's "Prayer" he discusses Martin Luther's issued he had with prayer. He felt he wasn't worthy to come to GOD in prayer. Yancey goes on to say that we are not worthy to come before GOD. But if we were worhty then what need would there be for GOD.That is totally true. If I had it all together, if I had no issues, if I was perfect then I truely wouldn't need God. I think that is one of my problems in life. I think I have it together, and in some areas I do. But I often forget to THANK god for letting me have that area under control. I am usually very quick to run to him in the areas I don't have a grip on. It's like moving something heavy, sometimes you can handle it just fine, you dont need help, no need to ask. But as soon as it slips and is about to fall on you, or maybe it already has, you will be yelling for someone to come as quick as they can.
So I guess in a way, I really would like GOD to make me comfortably uncomfortable. I guess its like when GOD was supplying Manna every morning. Sure its great that he is providing for us. But I really want something different. I want to be uncomfortable in my life, to where the world make me feel uncomfortable (with all its smoke and mirrors), but being wrapped up in GOD brings me complete Comfort.
So now is the Big question, how in the world do I get there. OOOHHHHH sure, thats rights Prayer for God to make me uncomfortable. I say that with my lips, but do I mean that with my soul. Will I be able to fight off my flesh? Will I be able to continue to maintain my Focus.
