Watch the Fun

As we look at the previous verses we are taught to pray with the right motives. How many times do we pray and tell God what we want or think that we need? I’m often guilty of this myself! I think my motives are good but am I truly asking in humility before God? He knows all things, obviously, so who am I to assume I know better than the All-Knowing God?? I grew up hearing requests being followed up by “your will be done”. Am I willing to accept His will if it’s not what I want it to be? Or am I saying that in a form of trying to manipulate God to give me what I want? As I learn to pray in true humility it allows God to lift me up and He gets the glory instead of me. I don’t know the Big Picture and sometimes I really don’t know the result. What I want can end in disaster. It’s so much better and more fun to see God move and to show Himself in amazing ways. Today I pray we can all humble ourselves and pray for His will. Then we can sit back and watch the fun.
