I Left That Out | Jonathan Josephs

Summary

Most of us have parts of our lives we'd rather keep hidden, even from God. The disappointment we haven't processed. The questions we haven't asked. The fears we don't want to admit. But what if the breakthrough you're praying for is on the other side of the thing you've been avoiding?

Key takeaways

Full intimacy with God requires full access — stop leaving out the messy, dark, or shameful parts when you come to him in prayer.
There is no point hiding from God because he already knows everything about you, is everywhere you go, and is the one who made you.
God will hear your honest cry from exactly where you are, not from where you think you should be spiritually.
Honest faith — including doubt, disappointment, and hard questions — is not weak faith; it is the kind of faith God responds to.
Like Jacob, there is a blessing you can only receive when you stop pretending and come before God as the person he actually created you to be.
