http://www.gospelines.com "For His Glory" "Father, help me." "Lord, heal my brother." God in heaven, I need." How often do we start our prayers with an appeal or a request? When we do that, are we thinking about God; or, are we thinking about ourselves.? What if we started our prayers something like this? "Father, what is Your will for me..." "Lord, what is Your will for my brother." "God in heaven, what do You want for me..." Paul tells us in 1st Corinthians 10:31, ".whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." That includes what we do in prayer. When Jesus was showing us how to pray, He started by saying, "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." When Jesus beseeched the Father before His crucifixion, He prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will." Our prayers shouldn't be all about us - they should be about Him. What is His will for us? How can we bring glory to the Father? GospeLines Prayer: Father, whatever You ask of me, whatever Your will for me, grant me the strength to carry through. Like Moses, I am fearful. Who am I Lord to do Your will.? Father, You know my needs and my heart. You know those things I want to ask, all the things pressing on my heart. Guide me Lord, lead me through this world and through the many things burning me on all sides. Lead me in such a way as to fulfill Your will and bring glory to You. O.
