Dangerous Prayers

In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Susan asks Mr. Beaver an important question about Aslan the lion. Aslan is the God-like character in the stories. The conversation about Aslan goes like this.

Susan:  Is he – quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion.
Mr. Beaver:  Safe? Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.

We serve a King who isn’t safe, but He’s good. When we pray, our prayers shouldn’t be safe; they should be good, big, and dangerous like God. We tend to come to God with our dirty laundry, or our laundry list of what He can do for us. What if we came asking what we could do for Him? That’d be dangerous. And that’d take action on our part because it would push us out of our comfort zone. Maybe it is time to finally pray prayers that are dangerous!
