Its a prayer slash saying that has always bugged me…a Christian platitude.
We pray “God, if you could just open up a door for me.”
What we are really saying is “oh God bless my laziness!”
Last time I checked, God requires us to have faith and take action. Look at James 1:6-7 or Hebrews 11:6.
What we ought to pray is “God, just barely crack doors so that I am required to have faith to walk through them.”
Our message on Sunday was all about praying this risky prayer. We called it “Kick it Open” because when God shows us just a sliver of light…a little tiny crack in the door, its our job to kick the door open and jump in with some risky faith.
We need to pray bold prayers! We need to say, “God I believe in You and I am willing to stick my neck out there for You!”
See, the issue is this: do we really believe our God is powerful? If we do then we will pray some BOLD, CRAZY prayers Believing that He can do what He says He will do!
What doors are you kicking open in life?
