I Pray We Get Uncomfortable....

I pray we become uncomfortable with doing business as usual.  I pray we get bored with doing the same ole' thing year in and year out with no attempt to evangelizing to the lost.

May we get uncomfortable with seeing people out on the street begging for money and asking if they can work for food to eat.  I pray we get uncomfortable with solely fellow-shipping with one another at the expense of being light and salt to others.  Lord help us to become uncomfortable.

I pray we get so uncomfortable with the purchasing of new vehicles, saying the Lord blessed us without touching and meeting the needs of others.  I pray we get uncomfortable with judging and condemning others without knowing their full story.

I pray we become uncomfortable and begin loving the unlovable....Lord please help us to get uncomfortable with young girls having babies, babies killing babies....young girls walking along the train tracks seeking out Johns and Lord help us be uncomfortable with the woman using the perfume samples in the pharmacy to freshen herself up from being out in those streets.....Lord, we must needs to get uncomfortable....  It's time for us to respond to the issues you have allowed our eyes to see......

Lord help us to get uncomfortable with the selfies, taking pictures of everything that does not reflect ministry modeled by our Savior (I'm talking to me too!)

Lord help us to get uncomfortable with wanting to have all the benefits but no relationship.  Lord helps us, we need to get uncomfortable......

Lord help us please to get uncomfortable with not being compassionate, and intentional about our efforts to make a difference in someone else's life ......
Lord, I pray for the day when we become uncomfortable rather sooner than later.
Lord, I pray that you help us to become uncomfortable TODAY in Jesus' name!

Today, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season. The lenten season is observed to better appreciate the death, and resurrection of Christ through self-examination, repentance, prayer, fasting, and self-denial. In addition, Ash Wednesday has another significant meaning for me. It was on this day, Ash Wednesday that the Lord brought me out of my induced coma in 2000, March 8th to be exact. Prior to that, I could only recall seeing my brother the night of the fire  in January who accompanied me in the ambulance while being transported to what was then called UMDNJ in Newark, NJ. On that Ash Wednesday, I can remember seeing both my grandmother and my mommy sitting in my hospital room. Grandma holding a can of Pepsi, and mommy doing something with my feet, lol. Probably clipping my toe nails. There is also that taste of chicken broth or soup I will never forget fed to me intravenously along with other fluids to sustain me while I was in a coma. Its been 16 years fr...

Know why...

Diamonds, Always question why you are so quick to do for others. I personally used to deal with rejection issues and often extended myself out of fear of saying no because I had a warped view of relationships. I would agree to make myself available even when I couldn't because I was afraid to disappoint the other person I was seeking affection from and was fearful of running the risk of losing them. I heard a preacher say, "If you cant say no, then you are in bondage." You are in bondage because youre always at the object of your affections beckoning call or enslaved to them even if they are not being manipulative or abusive. Youre fear of losing them or being rejected will keep you in bondage and never experiencing the liberty and the right to say no. Saying no especially when you cant is not bad at all. Saying no never puts you in a bind when you really dont want to do for a person but decide to do so because it looks good ln the outside but inwardly you dont really...
