Struggling Well With Life

Struck by a passing comment in Jim’s sermon this past week. So much of our prayer lives ends up looking like a grocery list. We beseech God for our friends, our family, ourselves. We bring all of our hopes, desires, and requests before Him, and plead with him to intervene or even come through for us. More often than not, these are my prayers. I have been trying to pray more of “The Lord’s Prayer”, not my will, but yours. And even more specifically, show me what you are up to Lord, reveal your presence in the situations I lay before you, show me how I can be a part of your movement, rather than asking you to join mine. Easy to pray, tough to live. I am longing to follow today, longing to show up today and join Him.
