After over 30+ years of being a Christian, many aspects of prayer remains a mystery to me.
And here is something new I learned about prayer this week.
I notice I was feeling a lack of motivation in life. I wondered what I am living for. I was losing focus on projects that I was really excited about. I was irritable. I was feeling discontent. Is it PMS? Is it mid-life crisis?
This thought challenged me:
Jesus lived a sinless life and condemned sin. He taught about living a holy life and he walked the talk.
Since he was so perfect, wouldn’t he be rather intimidating? Who can stand to be next to someone who is perfect? Wouldn’t you worry that he might point out one of your many faults? Or even worst, he could read your thoughts and call you on it!
Gordon MacDonald offered 4 principles to live by that I would like to apply to myself:
1. Experience conversion on a daily basis. “I want the freshness of conversion every day,†MacDonald said. Each morning, he recommits his life to Jesus as part of his devotional time. “It’s fun to accept Jesus all over again.â€
