PSALM 119:26 (MSG)
When I told my story, you responded;
train me well in your deep wisdom.
1 JOHN 5:15 (MSG)
And if we’re confident that he’s listening, we know that what we’ve asked for is as good as ours.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
We are certain that God responds to us — and that he has a wise and positive disposition.
DAILY FODDER
But what if we don't get what we ask of God? What does that mean?
PRAYER
God, thank you for listening. I admit that I get anxious when your responses aren't exactly what I was hoping for. But as always, my prayer is for what is consistent with your agenda. Help me to accept what I've requested. I'm glad to know that your responsiveness is guided by your wisdom rather than my short-sightedness. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
We hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening there.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil.
Amen!
