Lord, thank you for radicals. Thank you for the inspiration of radical saints who have done radical things for your glory.
I’m inspired when I look to the cloud of witnesses. Lord help me to take a leaf from their books’.
Where they had faith, help me to have faith.
Where they had courage, help me to be courageous.
Where they had zeal, help me to have it too.
Where they had passion for your priorities, help me to share in that.
But Lord, I don’t want to be radical for the sake of it.
Thank you that you’ve called us to also be ordinary.
Ordinary in our faithful obedience.
Ordinary in our support of a local church.
Ordinary in our habits.
Ordinary in our relationships.
Help me to seek and find the balance between radically living for you and serving you in my ordinary life.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen
