Lord make me less like Jonah and more like Jesus. Save me from being the kind of person who cares more about my comfort my reputation and my success than I do about the people You are calling me to serve. Help me to keep all of my dreams on Your altar and be ready at all times to respond with faith and obedience to Your call.

Our culture says live your dream but God calls you to place your dream on His altar and to keep it there at all times. It is good to have hopes and dreams for the future but we have no rights. There are no certainties. Any dream can become an idol and if it does God will bring it down.
