A lot of things go wrong when you don’t pray like you should or for the things you should or as often as you should. Lately I seem to feel the burdens of a lot of things that I really shouldn’t. The college ministry I take part in has had a tough year and all I have to say about it is “why?” I catch myself thinking “What did I do wrong?” and “What can I do to get more people to come and how can I evangalize?” It’s like I’m concerned with how to be a good Christian. When did I get that mentality? Something I’ve completely forgotten is that God seems to be a puzzle that likes to put itself together instead of me putting the peices together. At one point about a year ago I had grabbed this knowledge and at some point I let it go. When you are more concerned with being a lover of Jesus than a good Christian, pieces will fall into place. Last year I found myself reaching out to more people in better ways than ever. I’m praying to get back to that point in my faith. Please pray for me. But don’t pray that I’ll learn something. I’m tired of trying to learn. Pray that I’ll stop trying. It’s not my efforts that count. It’s his.
