Blessing Complicates Our Life!
To kick off 2013, our entire church is reading The Circle Maker, by Mark Batterson and we’re also doing the series as our New Year’s / January series. On page 110, Mark gives an interesting prayer that he prays that is rocking me right now… “God, complicate my life.” He says, “The blessings of God won’t just bless you; they will also complicate your life.”
Plain and simple: Blessing complicates things. So often, we want blessing but we whine about the complications that come with it. In a lot of ways, that’s been me in the last season of my life. I’ve experienced the tremendous blessing of God but have resented the complications it has brought with it.
After reading that, my prayer became, “Lord forgive me for resenting or whining about the blessings you’ve given me. I really am so grateful and thankful for all you’ve d
one and given to us. What a privilege. We are truly living the exceptional life.”
? What about you? Is your life getting complicated? Turns out, you might just be experiencing the blessing of God.
