A Scary Lyric

Very often the prayer for patience is known as a very scary prayer to pray. God doesn't just give you patience, most of the time He will give you a situation to test (and eventually grow) your patience.

I think the song lyric "Ruin my life, the plans that I've made" (Ruin Me by Jeff Johnson) is a very scary song lyric to sing if you mean it. The chorus continues with "Ruin desires for my own selfish gain. Destroy the idols that have taken Your place, till it's You alone I live for, You alone I live for".

Literally, we are asking the Lord to ruin our lives. To destroy our plans. To demolish our desires. Simply, to wreck our lives.

Y'all. That's a scary lyric to sing, but it needs to be so true in our lives. God's plan should trump all. We say it does, but do we live like it does?
