PRAYING GOD'S WILL | DON'T UNDERSTAND GOD (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. Don't Understand God

Lord God, the words that I am about to pray are Your words. Hear them please and honor them. Help me to understand that because Your thoughts are often higher than my thoughts that I may not always understand Your thoughts and Your way. Remind me of Your promise that if I will call upon You, You will tell me great and unsearchable things that I do not know. I now pray Your word to You in Jesus' name. Amen.

3. God's Word

b) Hebrews 10:23 New King James Version (NKJV)

And He shall sustain you;
