PRAYING GOD'S WILL | GODLY LIFE (12)

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. God Life

Lord Jesus, my Lord and Savior, more than anything else I desire that I will live a godly life in Your sight. Your words are my prayers to You. Please honor them by keeping me in the center of Your will in all that I do. Thank You for all that You do and especially for honoring this my prayer. Amen.

3. God's Word

a) Mark 12:30-31 New King James Version (NKJV)

³⁰ And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. ³¹ And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

b) Psalm 119:133 New King James Version (NKJV) 

¹³³ Direct my steps by Your word,
And let no iniquity have dominion over me. 

c) Psalm 119:105 New King James Version (NKJV) 

¹⁰⁵ Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.

 d) Acts 2:25 New King James Version (NKJV)

‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
