Original Prayer

I woke up this morning 6am-ish to a white flash (through curtains, through my eyelids!) and seconds later a BOOM. For a while I fully believed it was a nuclear attack and WW3 had started! Obviously by God's grace it wasn't, just a big thunderstorm with massive booms and hardly any rumbling at all. (Jonathan Wilkerson's recent 'prophecy' was a major source of my train of thought. ) Cowering under the duvet in doom, this experience has highlighted my in-excuseable disobedience in the way I choose to live my life. How I hide Jesus's full meaning on the bearing of my life from my own family, partly in shame of my own shortcomings, partly in fear I would drive them away from the Truth. I have not helped dispel the stereotype that christians are hypocrites at all. I barely live for anyone but myself. How if our world fell to pieces tomorrow, my unprepared-ness in faith, my distance from God, and lack of telling others about what He has done for us. I pray that I will turn from my rebellious bad habits, from my fear, from my wrongs and just trust to walk with you Lord Jesus, and not away from you. You are my only hope.
