Disturb Me, Lord!


I'm reading a great new book by Craig grayscale, Chazown: A Different Way to See Your Life. Chazown is the Hebrew word for vision, dream, and revelation. Here's a powerful excerpt:

"Sir Francis Drake once prayed a prayer that was later quoted by a missionary named Jeanie Curyer in one of her prayer letters. This prayer has changed my life. It went:

'Disturb us, Lord, when we are too well pleased with ourselves. When our dreams have come true because we dreamed too little. When we arrive safely because we have sailed too close to the shore. Distrub us, Lord.'

Are you willing to let God disturb you with dreams so big the you don't know how they'll be accomplished? A vision that can only come true if He pulls it off?"
