Reality Prayer Blogging - Letting go, letting God

I get up, and prepare for yet another day, beginning with TAWG.
In a sense, routine is both good and bad. It instills discipline in those willing to integrate it into daily living; on the flipside, it too can bring about a sense of mundane-ness (for lack of a better word).
What better time than now for the Lord sent me a timely reminder of what it means to be His disciple, what it takes to run the race, what it all boils down to when it comes down to the wire:
“In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.” ~ Luke 14:33
Personally, this is a big challenge, having grown up amongst overachievers who are currently carving excellent little niches for themselves in the corporate world. In a sense, the need to own that luxury car, that expensive bag, that exclusive credit card has been imbued in me since my days in secondary school and later, junior college and university.
To me, “everything” refers to the material comforts which are highly prized by my peers and myself. It connotes prestige and to a certain extent, acceptance.
As the Lord challenged me to let go, and surrender these aspirations in exchange for something better – His divine will for my life – I was reminded also to look not to man for acceptance, but to God.
The process of complete submissions is still an ongoing one, but I am proud to announce that it gets better every day as I seek Him and pray through the process of letting go of everything and letting God.
