PRAYING FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS, CHURCH & NATION:
Seek to know God‘s will and pray from Scripture (1Jhn 5:14,15).
MORNING WATCH NOTES:
“If you pray according to God‘s will, he will answer.” This is often taken to be a prickly caveat to prayer. My “GO TO“ means of praying God’s will is to pray the truth of Scripture into my life and over those for whom I pray. Seeking God’s will in Scripture is not like looking for a needle in the haystack. It’s like looking for straw of hay in a haystack. Using Scripture In its context to pray, you will rarely go wrong. Nor will you run out of things to pray.
But there are times when we are just not sure of God‘s will, e.g., praying for healing or prodigals. Or which career path to take; who to marry. In those times especially we ought to be seeking God in his word to know his will as we pray. We ought to seek counsel and listen to trustworthy voices. (The point of this blogger’s use of Scripture is to learn and to pray from God’s word, his will)
Lord, I thank you for your word that guides me in my prayer life.
