God's agenda

LENT

We have put our hope in you, O Lord our God, because you are the one who does these things. ~ Jeremiah 14:22b (GNT)

We are certain that God will hear our prayers when we ask for what pleases him. ~ 1 John 5:14 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
We put our hope in God and his agenda because he is reliable.
PRAYER:
God, thank you for hearing us.  We are certain that you hear our prayers when we ask for what pleases you. Of course, this is where we trip up, too. Somehow I have accepted the idea that what pleases me the most is what pleases you. Instead of making our relationship about you and your agenda I try to make it about me and my agenda. Help me to think more clearly on this matter. My goal is to be all about you and your agenda. My hope is in you. Amen.
