Lord, when we pray, help us accept the truth that You don’t always answer like we expect. We dwell on our circumstances, analyze every option we might have, play and replay in our mind how we want every scenario to play out. This is how we want You to answer our prayer, Lord. After all, Your Word plainly states in Matthew 6:8 —“You know the things we need before we ask You.” More often than not, we offer up self-centered prayers. Quoting John 14:14, “You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it,” we overlook two crucial words in our companion verse: “You know the things we need . . .“
Not only do You know what we want, You also know our motives. But more importantly, You know what we need. Help me set aside my wants, my desires. Instead, may I seek and desire what “You know I need,” which is always the best for me.
Thankful You, Lord, know what I need, especially when I don’t have a clue. In Your name, Amen
THANKFUL
