Chris' prayer: MercyMe's "In the Blink of an Eye"

And though I'm living a good life
Can my life be something great?
What are you scared of? Are you scared of spiders, or mice, or bugs? Are you scared of failing, of being alone, of the unknown? We all have certain things that scare us. While I might receive a small fright from an unexpected spider or mouse, I wouldn't say that I'm scared of them. And while I'd rather not fail, or end up alone, I wouldn't say that I'm particularly scared of those, either.

My greatest fear, if I'm truly being honest with myself, is greatness. I'm not exactly sure why, but I'm sure that the fear is real. As a result, I tend to settle into things and get comfortable in my mediocrity. For instance, I've said countless times that I'm going to get my portfolio together and look for a new job, one I really feel I'm ready for. But I don't take the steps to achieve that goal. I'm far too comfortable with how things are. I am crippled by this fear of what I could achieve if I put my mind to it, if I invested myself fully, if I just trusted God!

And I know it. I know that I could be great. Not just with work, but with everything that I do. I could be so much more. But instead of doing it, I'm stuck asking...
What am I waiting for?

Mice in general may not seem scary. But mice with an IQ of 198 (Fredrick) are very scary.
