the book 'Greater' by Pastor Steven Furtick has blessed me beyond measure.
This last chapter was a prayer for me before I move on and be 'Greater'.
I pray that you will no longer settle for good enough in your closest relationships, existing together but not really engaging each other. I pray that where you may have settled into patterns of comfort, busyness, and mundane living, you will exchange all that for a greater dream of seeing the glory of God displayed where you live. I pray that the monotonous drone that can come with living together as a family will be replaced by the passionate cadence of a family that follows God together. I pray that you wont settle for raising good boys and girls who dont get on your nerves or interfere with your dreams by who are world changes that chase after God's dreams for them.
I pray that you will never settle for the "good enough" of killing time and drawing a paycheck. Clocking in and clocking out. If God is calling you to step into something new, I pray that He will give you faith to do so. If God is calling you to step up in the job you already have, I pray that He will give you the passion to do so. Either way, I pray that you will step into greater life of influence that God has called you to within your work. I pray that your profession will turn into your pulpit, your sport coat become your cloak, your office become a sanctuary, your work become your worship. I pray that, instead of fantasizing about somebody's life, you will pursue God's greater life for you.
