Do Something Uncomfortable

September 19, 2012 By Leave a Comment

We all fall into our ruts of worship and prayer.  We pray to our style and find churches that meet that outlook.  Pentecostals might find speaking in tongues as normal as breakfast, but be extremely uncomfortable praying the Rosary.  Episcopalians might have no problem praying the daily office, but to sing praise songs with arms uplifted would make most run the other way.  Today, pray and worship in a way you find uncomfortable.  Use formal prayer, pray the Rosary, ask to speak in tongues, spend time in silent meditation, go out and share the gospel with someone who needs good news–do whatever makes you uneasy.  Break free from the confines of comfort.
