The past few years I’ve grown so much in my relationship with Christ. Most of those times that I was stretched were in trials and hard times. Finally, after my seizures and many other health problems I cried out and asked God to give me a time of peace and comfort. Not that I didn’t have it sometimes before… but I was craving a moment of pure joy and being stengthened and grown in those times.
I got it and I hate it.
The problem with easy… I’m so comfortable, so relaxed, that I forgot my place as God’s daughter and creation. I’m not growing at all. I feel so rebelious as I “forget” to have quiet times and prayer times. I know that I need to be stronger and involve the Lord more in my life… I just haven’t. What am I doing?
I want a challenge. I need one. I don’t want to be safe anymore. If I’m safe then I’m not being stretched. If I’m safe then I’m not out there doing what the Lord has asked of me…
God, bring me a challenge. Make things difficult so that I rely on You. Not just for Your strength, but because I’ll be put in my place. Who am I without you? Nothing. Help me remember that…
