The Prayer of Relinquishment

Read the following story aloud, and then use the questions to start a faith conversation.

Far to often Christians act like the person in this story; "I would like to buy $3.00 worth of God, please.  Not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or a snooze in the sunshine...I want ecstasy, not transformation; I want the warmth of the womb not a new birth.  I want a pound of the Eternal in a paper sack.  I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please."

1.)  What do you think of this story?

2.)  What do you think is the difference between wanting only a little bit of God and wanting to live completely for God?

3.)  List three areas of your life in which you need to be more surrendered to God.
