PRAYING GOD'S WILL | PATIENCE (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. Patience

a) Lord Jesus, patience is so important but so elusive. I pray to You now what You have already declared in Your word and I ask You to honor it in my life. Bless now the praying of Your word. Amen.

3. God's Word

a) Galatians 5:22-23 New King James Version (NKJV)

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

b) Isaiah 40:31 New King James Version (NKJV)

31 But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

c) Psalm 27:14 New King James Version (NKJV)

14 Wait on the Lord;

Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord.

d) Lamentations 3:26 New King James Version (NKJV)

26 It is good that one should hope and wait quietly

For the salvation of the Lord.
