Scripture: "Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (John 14:13) Reflection: Over the years of prayer in my life, I have caught myself doing something in my prayers to God that really isn't to smart. Often in my prayers I kind of give God some advice. I have found myself making a request to God and then immediately telling Him how to answer that request. In other words I expect God to answer my request the way I want it answered. What a total lack of faith, not to mention a waste of time. I don't have enough faith in God to expect Him to do what's best for me. I have to keep in mind and heart that God always answers my prayers and always does what's best for me. It may not always be the answer that I want, but it is the answer that is best for me. I also must remember that God answer's my prayer in His time not mine. Let's you and I do something, the next time we have a request to God, in total commitment of faith, let Him answer the request not us. Prayer: I praise and honor You oh Lord. Thanks you for your commitment to me. THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING GOD! Quote: St. Claire of Assisi Spiritual Teacher and Guide, Political and Religious Peacemaker (1193-1223) "Go forth in peace, for you have followed the good road. Go forth without fear, for He that created you has sanctified you, has always protected you, and loves you as a mother." |
