I wonder if all too often I pray for burdens to be lifted, rather than the strength to endure. After all, enduring and overcoming the challenges in life is what makes my faith grow stronger, which leads to life. If I always take the easy, straight and level path, I will never gain the strength I need to climb the mountain. Of course, God will not punish me for taking the level path, however, in so doing I will miss out on the breathtaking view from the top....and the chance to live a life even closer to Him.
