Pain and hardship will certainly cause us to pray; sometimes even more than our needs and wants. But why do we continue finding ourselves in hard places, difficult places, even addicted places? We experience pain and hardship because we live in a broken world, and in an unseen war where there is an “evil one” against us. What do we do? The fourth way Jesus told us to pray is found in Matthew 6:13, and that is to “lead not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”
God’s heart for lost people is that they are found, so we must be relentless about finding them.
So many of us want to talk about Jesus with our friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers because we want to see their lives transformed...
Salvation is free; it costs us nothing. Following Jesus will eventually cost us something.
