"Whatever It Takes" — The Prayer of a Person Who's Done Negotiating with God
God told Gideon to fight 135,000 soldiers. Then He took away 99% of his army. Gideon said yes anyway. Paul threw away a perfect résumé. Abraham raised a knife over his own son. This is what happens when you stop giving God a checklist and start giving Him a blank check.
