Comfort vs. Truth
I spend too much time in my prayer life seeking comfort--praying for things that I think will make me feel better and calling those things, "good." However, the true Believer prays: "Not my will, but Thine be done." And that prayer typically starts with some version of: "Take this cup from me." I infer that more often than not, "good" is uncomfortable and praying for Truth, not comfort, is what truly sets us free to receive righteousness, peace and joy.

I have this same struggle because I do so hate to be uncomfortable!! However, I find true comfort when I allow myself to let go of what I think is most comfortable and cling to God instead. Now if I could just learn to loosen my grasp BEFORE I enter panic mode!
