Along with doing the book study for Made to Crave I am also doing the devotional that goes for 60 days.
Day one was about praying to be unsettled. I was kind of disturbed at first when I started reading this, but as I continued to read I realized what a wonderful prayer that would be. When we reach the early years of adulthood all you hear is about settling down. For me that meant gainful employment and the urging to find someone get married and start a family. It is a good thing to be settled as far as that part of our lives goes. But what about the spiritual side of our lives. When I think of someone being settled in their faith I think of someone who isn't growing. They go to church and partake in all the right things and appear to be what should be a growing Christians goal. Through this devotional I realized that I don't want to be settled in my faith. I want God to unsettle me in the areas that He wants me to work on. One of those for me is the way I eat. I don't want that to become such a focus in my life that it takes me away from what God wants for me.
So I am starting to pray for God to unsettle me so that I can continue to grow into who God wants me to be. I pray that for you too!
Amen! It's so easy to settle in our faith, especially when things are going well. We really have to focus on God to overcome that temptation to settle. A great prayer for us all!
