We often think of prayer as a means to an end. Prayer is the goal.

Fear of God failing us leads us to "cover for God." This means we ask, expect, and are satisfied with less.

Do you want to see God more than you desire security?

Christianity was simple: fight your desires in order to please God.

Which is more messed up- that we have so much compared to everyone else, or that we don't think we're rich? That on any given day, we might flippantly call ourselves 'broke' or 'poor?' We are neither of those things. We are rich. Filthy rich.

I sometimes struggle with how to properly respond to God’s magnitude in a world bent on ignoring or merely tolerating Him. But know this: God will not be tolerated. He instructs us to worship and fear Him.

This could all end at any moment...Therefore, be self-controlled.
