Prayer: Pray At Your Own Risk
March 15, 1997 (Weekend Service)
Certain kinds of prayers are dangerously powerful for you to pray. If everyone practiced these prayers, we would all manifest humility and live lives of worship, wonder, and love. The first one is called the "search me" prayer. This is when you ask God to show you the areas of your life where you have not fully surrendered to Him. The second high-risk prayer is the "stretch me" prayer. This is a prayer asking God for increased courage and increased faith. The third life-changing prayer, praying for God to lead you, is a request for daily guidance as you embark upon the adventures of life. As you begin to sense the leadings of God, one final prayer is necessary. Pray that God will use you within your given circumstance. You may get dinged-up externally by praying these four prayers, but it will be worth it because you will be living a life of joy and vitality on the inside.
