Vital signs- Sunday, March 12th, 2023

It’s fine to pray for safety and blessings, but what if you want more? What if you desire power from the Holy Spirit, strength from heaven, unshakable faith, genuine intimacy with your Father? 

Instead of just asking God to keep you safe, give you more, and protect your life, you may have to ask God to break you.

When I think about praying this prayer, “Lord, break me,”

What are we missing out on because we’re so committed to avoiding pain and discomfort?

Jesus said, “For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it” (Matt. 16:25). Jesus isn’t inviting us to a life of comfort and ease, but one of surrender and sacrifice. Our highest desire shouldn’t be for our will to be done, but for his will to be done. And Jesus is inviting us to die to our own lives, so we can live moment by moment, day by day—for him. To leave our cozy living rooms and safe prayers in order to know what it means to be broken for the sake of others.

By playing it safe, we risk missing something far more precious than our security and comfort. We don’t realize what blessings might be on the other side of God’s breaking.


Team Wade loves you and is praying for you❤️👊
