Hey everybody! I know I am 1 week & 1 one late and 1 post short since I last posted. Let me let you in on what has been going on. I spent 15 days on a mission trip to Zambia at the end of last month. I've adjusted fairly well since being back. However as soon as I got back, it was back to the grind of student ministry here in the states. Then last Tuesday, a little boy (almost 2) in our church was involved in a lawnmower accident. My wife & I along with other pastors & church members spent a long night at the hospital with the family. It has been a long couple of weeks.
I wanted to share with you something that God has been teaching me over these last weeks. It has to do with my prayer life. It's the phrase: 'Your kingdom come, Your will be done.' This phrase is something that I & many others often just slap on the end of our prayers. The question is do we really want God's will to be done?
What if God's will was for you to sell everything & move to a foreign land? What if God's will was for you or your spouse to be unable to have children? There are so many 'what ifs'; but the reality of it is do we really want God to do what He is going to do or do we want Him to do what we want Him to do? God's desire is for us to lean in to Him/to rely on Him & trust that He knows what we need.
Don't let this phrase be a slogan that you slap on the end of your prayers. Let it be what you truly desire.
Saved by grace,
Bro. Eric
