All of us have found ourselves whispering a prayer to God at some point begging Him to help us make our lives count. We’ve all felt the sting of hot tears as we’ve replayed the events of the past day, or week, or years. The temptation to run ahead of God’s plan is so real in those moments, and yet, as we look at the toxin of ineffectiveness, we find a Father who wants us to be effective even more than we do. Not only that, but He’s got a way for us to get there, too.
