PRAYING GOD'S WILL | CONFUSED (3)

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) 2 Timothy 1:7 New King James Version (NKJV)

⁷ For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

b) Isaiah 50:7 New King James Version (NKJV)

Therefore I will not be disgraced;
Therefore I have set My face like a flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.

 

c) 1 Peter 4:12-13 New King James Version (NKJV)

 

¹² Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; ¹³ but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

d) James 1:5 New King James Version (NKJV)

⁵ If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
