Dangerous Prayers, sounds like a contradiction, doesn't it? But wait a minute, is it really? God wants us to pray to him with outspoken truth about our fears and needs. When we talk to God, he doesn't want us to be politically correct, he wants us to put it all out there, the good, the bad and the ugly allowing the chips to fall where they may. No worries, he'll pick up those chips!

The more dangerous the better! Ones that bring the death of self and the new life of Christ in us - the hope of glory.
