PRAYING GOD'S WILL | CONFUSED (2)

1. Praying God's Will

a) What should you pray for? Scripture is clear that you should pray God's word. At the same time, you must never forget that God is sovereign and that He is not obligated to a name-it-and-claim-it theology. God will always do what is best. But at the same time you will do well to understand that when you pray God's word, you are actually praying both the mind and the perfect will of God for yourself.

b) If you follow a systematic plan of praying God's will, you will see dynamic growth take place in your life. You will become the man God intended you to be.

2. Confused

Heavenly Father, in the beautiful and precious name of Jesus, my Lord and Savior, I ask you to remove all confusion from me. Help me to know that Your word says You are the author of peace and not of confusion and that I am to lean on You and Your word and not on my own understanding. Thank you, in Jesus' name, for honoring this my prayer. Amen.

3. God's Word

a) Philippians 4:6-7 New King James Version (NKJV)

⁶ Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; ⁷ and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

b) Isaiah 40:29 New King James Version (NKJV)

²⁹ He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.

 

c) James 3:16-17 New King James Version (NKJV)

 

¹⁶ For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. ¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

d) 1 Corinthians 14:33 New King James Version (NKJV)

³³ For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
