My question is simple: what temperature are you?
Hot? On fire for God, kingdom minded, and counting down to heaven? (The only acceptable temperature.)
Cold? Backsliding more and more and not caring about where you're headed?
Lukewarm? Stuck in the middle, indecisive, and scared to change?
I don't know what your temperature is, but I know mine... And it scares me.
I am a lukewarm Christian.
I am scared to fully raise my white flag in surrender.
I am stuck at a place in my life where it's hard to decide what I'm gonna do.
I have come to a complete stop in my spiritual growth.
I am not in a good place.
I am questioning and doubting God way too much.
I am at a very unsafe and dangerous temperature.
I am on the edge of being a backslider, and it terrifies me.
I keep having nightmares about fire and brimstone, and they just seem so real.
I don't want to continue down the path of being lukewarm.
To anyone else who is struggling with being lukewarm, just know that you are not alone. My prayer below is for you, as well.
Don't give up the fight.
Keep on keeping on.
Realizing that you are lukewarm is the first step.
The next thing is to fix it.
Be prayerful, and be in the Word.
Stay accountable.
Most importantly, keep God as your number One because He is THE One.
God,
I pray that You would help me to become on fire for You again. More than anything, I want to get deeper in my relationship with You. Being lukewarm is just not gonna cut it in my life anymore. I want to shine Your light and shout Your name from the mountaintops.
I ask that as I start my journey closer to You, that You would guide me and keep me grounded. I long to just keep You first in my life and put no idols before You.
Help to stop being lukewarm and heat me up to being on fire for You.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
