And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.—Mark 10:13-16
I love that Jesus has this protective response. Can't you picture a group of reckless kids running at Jesus? Yet concurrently, there is this defensive line of adults who think kids are above God's pay grade. But Jesus, instead of acting like a primadonna, has a harsh word for those who are wrongly protective; who lack child-like abandonment.
Growing up should never result in us outgrowing certain attributes. Children can be: kind, genuine, trustworthy, reliant, simple, spirited, and caring. In adulthood, we sometimes "outgrow" these powerful and beneficial attributes. They are qualities Jesus said we must have to receive the Kingdom of God. Unless we are attentive, we will soon become everything that a child is not and lose that reckless abandon, becoming only rational and cautious. So today, be a little reckless, run to God with something. Come to him with a request that is beyond your reach. Ask for something a little crazy and unreasonable. Be irrational and run with abandon into the arms of a God who will not reject you.
DO THIS: This week, we are focusing on the discipline of prayer.
Your Call To Act (C.T.A.) today is:
- Pray: for 5-minutes and ask God for something unreasonable today. If you have trouble coming up with something consider items in the 5-F Categories: faith, family, friendships, finances, and fitness.
- Share: below that crazy thing you are praying about.

I’m sorry but I think you’re all wrong. Nothing comes for free and if you want to make good money you have to put in the hard work. If businesses like this were easy everyone would be doing them and of course no one would be making money. In fact it’s almost better to have people continue to write negative reviews because it opens more opportunity for hard works and weeds out the people that want life handed to them on a silver platter. So please continue to share past stories of negativity it’ll push people that truly want to succeed that much harder. Those people that on top making money walked a hard road to get there. Don’t shame them for what you can’t do. Best of luck to all who just try something new to better themselves.
Pretty insightful submit. Never thought that it was this simple after all. I had spent a good deal of my time looking for someone to explain this topic clearly and you’re the only 1 that ever did that. Kudos to you! Keep it up
I am impressed, I have to say. Very seldom do I see a blog that is both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, youve hit the nail on the head. Your idea is important; the matter is something that not a lot of people are talking intelligently about. Im very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

Me and my wife have been taking a year of Sabbath and it ends on march 15th. Through that year we lost our rental house. My mother -in -law passed away and we lost our source of income. I then burnt out physically and emotionally. Also in the past year we have paid off all dept and lived with my parents gaining the support and guidance to recover from burnout and grief. My 2 sons had ample care takers and we paid for nothing. And God gave me a new job that met our needs and allowed me to recover.
But now with the year almost done we need a spot to live. And we really don’t want to have a debt with the condition of the housing market right now in Canada. So this is my request

My prayer is for the Lord to sanctify me so thoroughly that I may possess unwavering faith, no matter the circumstances, and be fully equipped with the courage, fortitude, and persistence to trust and keep my eyes fixed on Christ regardless of the cost. Also, that the Lord would supernaturally improve my ability to deny myself, so that I’m more capable of loving others unconditionally, and provide me with the capability to consistently put into practice the type of radical love that is commensurate with His Word as outlined, for us, within the chapter of I Corinthians 13 (Love is patient, love is kind…). And, that through all this, our Father in heaven would be glorified (Matthew 5:16)!

A couple of things, end the virus. But also for the souls in our country and around the world to put their trust in our Lord Jesus Christ. Sometimes we need a crisis in our life, to bring us back to the one who created us. God has promised never to leave us or for sake us. May God give us the strength to trust in him through this time.

Let me be used by God to help those in need during this Corona virus outbreak and have no fear.
COVID-19 Smashed to smithereens by God by end of April 2020.
Good points, mark. Asking God for radical change and transformation does not something Western Christians are used to it seems. Matt Chandler calls it the plausibility structure. We overthink rationally instead of relying on the holy Spirit. Christians in Southeast Asia for instance are very open to the holy Spirit making huge changes is there a culture allows for this possibility more so than ours.
Anyway, my radical prayer for the day is hundreds of millions of new Believers on the other end of this virus crisis. When Church buildings are empty what a great time to show the world that the Church is NOT the building!
Is it unreasonable to ask God to alleviate our fears of this COVID-19 situation? This Psalm gives me peace. “I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.” (Psalm 34:4)
Dear Lord, help me to trust. To trust in you, to trust for you, to trust with you so that I will develop more in my emotional, spiritual, social, and physical life.

Praying for an end to the Corona Virus crisis, healing of those already ill, the calming of the financial community, and those who are out of work.
Today I’m asking God for the ability to focus…maybe that is not reckless, but it is what I need. Too many thoughts, work projects and distractions.
Great thoughts, Vince!
I think one of the most common instances of becoming “rationally cautious” is a loss of being “reliant”: as we grow up, we seek independence and self-sufficiency from our parents/guardians. Unfortunately, there also seems to be a corresponding loss of reliance on our heavenly Father!
Crazy prayer for today: Lord, rather than helping our church merely sustain and weather the difficulties of a world struck low by the pandemic, may our church flourish and our witness SHINE, according to your good will!
Praying for a miraculous, sudden end to this Covid-19 outbreakthat can only be explained as God’s intervention! Also, another “Great Awakening” of God’s people through this experience.

I have to pick Fitness in a non sort of selfish way. Because if I was healthier physically and even in my Faith in Jesus , alot of other things would definitely fall into place.
When I made the choice to run to God instead of running from him. He accepted me just they way I was dirty full of sin but he took me his arms clean me up and cleasne me from all my sins. That’s the kind of Father he is. Love him to eternity. I love this challenge cause it makes me look deep within an remember alot of things God has done for me that I may have forgotten. Thanks for this challenge.
After years of laboring in the wilderness, multiple long-term business efforts are now on the verge of explosive success…so I pray that the LORD would arise and do Isaiah 43:18-19 for me, to his glory.
Prayed with child-like expectation, as a child would their parents, for Jesus to heal our nation and our world from this Covid 19 virus and with the mature faith that he could do so if it is His will. I pray that he would find a Nation and a world coming back to Him at this time; and in that resurrected faith, he would be touched, see our faith, and grant this prayer. Amen
There are many things I could bring to Jesus with reckless abandonment, but one thing that came to mind was for a clear, honest vision that allows me to experience empathy and confidence in others situations. For blessing on how to speak truth and aid into my families and others lives, no matter what their circumstances.

I pray for God to help provide me with opportunities to help increase my income so that I may be able to share it with others. And that an abundant flow of clients will come to me that I can.
I’m asking for God to revolutionize our marriages. To revive, refresh and restore!
I have many a simple one is that God blesses my family with another child. Ultimately, I would love an experience that Jesus would actually talk with me and tell me that I am on the right track and I am following his will for me on this earth. My biggest fear is I’m not hearing what he is telling me to do.
I pray, and wish, and hope…..that mine, and all families, wipe away and erase their dysfunctional ways….love each other and their idiosyncratic ways. Yeah…that’s it. Amen. See ya tomorrow!
Lord, I ask you to SAVE the whole world right now!
I am praying for complete recovery for today’s successful encouraging moments.
Very fitting passage for the times we’re in right now! When a child is troubled and faces disruption they run to a parent where they feel secure. May this disruption we’re all facing cause us to run to our Father for the security only He can provide! So my ask today is in the faith category. Father, help me to put my trust in you alone!
I am praying to God that this season of confusion and mass paranoia over what appears to be God testing us doesn’t keep me from my goals of fitness and health before a planned peaceful and joyous cruise with great and faithful friends.
Unspeakable joy.

LORD,
Would you overwhelm my son with your love for him so that he may know the height, depth and breath of your love and see himself as You see him. Thank you! Amen

A miraculous turn with the virus outbreak
That I you reveal to me where I should be at, and that I may grow closer to you trusting in every word you speak to me or every door that is closed I see you thru everything.

This may not be insane, but please Lord help find a way to control this virus and rid the world of it and it’s disrupting and destruction of lives.
My crazy prayer asked God for His supernatural healing and power over the last 6 mo of my life and those effected by it. Itz been one crisis after another. AND I also asked for His healing over all of the unresolved circumstances from my past that I’ve “hid away” instead of dealt with. Thank you heavenly Father! You are the God of the impossible.
I have been divorced for a long time, I would like that my next wife life partner come into my life soon.
My son Jonathan would come back to the lord.
To exercise childlike faith that God requires.
God, grant us release from this craziness that we are experiencing right now. Protect us from this virus. Help us to take advantage of this opportunity as well, to grow closer to our immediate families, with whom we are spending a lot more time with, and at the same time, keep us close to those we are not able to be with as we try to slow the spread of Covid-19.
Amen, Brudder Yoope, eh

I’m praying for safety against the Coronavirus since I’m immunocompromised, and that I don’t fall out of shape during this time. I know that last part seems shallow, so I’m also asking God to realign my prayers and care more about Him and others than myself
That my kids and their kids would really desire God and walk with Him . His heritage would continue through them until His return. That His kingdom would be clearly see by them and towards other as they rest and relying wholeheartedly on Christ righteousness. They would see fathers, mother and children reconciled as to God’s intent as His people preserved to Himself. Their homes would revive His righteousness to all peoples and open the way to put off sin and put on all He’s provided and promised.
Because of His Great Name above all others we pray amen.
We hear about child like faith all the time! I sometimes feel that with my job I now have to “grow up” but at the same time, I would not be who I am no more. So Lord, I ask that I can let lose and be myself even more with my peers in the marketplace instead of having a barrier. Prabably should keep that social distancing thou.

Father, I ask you to assist in stimulating participation and enthusiasm in our Men’s Group. That we all find eagerness and delight in strengthening our relationship with you.
Removal of pain.
I have a few but I’ll talk about the YCOG MENS MINISTRY. I prayed that God wills the men’s ministry in His/our church to touch men’s lives all over the WORLD. And that YCOGMM becomes the example by which other Godly men’s groups follow. Amen!
