Life may not have a “reset” button, but we can offer a “reset” prayer. On the Monday edition of Live the Promise evangelist Nick Hall joins Susie in studio and shares how to refocus our minds on God.
“All of us in our day to day routine need a reset. I need to be going out, to be giving and living the mission but I need to be coming back in [for] community, time on my knees, time in my prayer closet. There is a reset for you and Jesus is the answer.”
Nick points to the pattern of brokenness we see in Scripture:
• Moses wasn’t a great speaker
• Jonah ran from God
• Noah got drunk
• Jeremiah was depressed
• John the Baptist ate bugs
• James and John were prideful
• Sarah was barren
• Timothy was too young
• Lazarus was dead
If God can use each of these people, He can use you.
“All God asks of us is a response. He makes Himself available to each and every one of us.” Nick uses technology and household appliances as an illustration. “Everything around me has a reset button. I love the idea that when something’s broken, they’re something you can hit and it gets things working again! We are created for a new beginning – ultimately, Jesus is the ultimate reset.”
Nick names some barriers that can prevent us from coming to God for a reset.
• Comparison
• Pride
• A thirst for what’s new, current, or trendy instead of solid, timeless truth
Nick points to the grace of God as the movement behind our spiritual resets. “When I look back at the amazing things that have happened, all I really did was surrender to Jesus and respond.”
