PRAYING GOD'S WILL | GOD'S WORD (5)

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. Prayer

a) Heavenly Father, Your word is such an important part of my life. I pray that it will be the same in my beloved family and that Your word will be living and sharper than any two-edged sword in our lives. I am praying Your word for Your word to be important to us. Thank You, Father, in Jesus' name, for hearing and answering my prayers. Amen.

3. God's Word

a) Proverbs 4:20-22 New King James Version (NKJV)

20 My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.
21 Do not let them depart from your eyes;
Keep them in the midst of your heart;
22 For they are life to those who find them,
And health to all their flesh.

b) Proverbs 30:5-6 New King James Version (NKJV)

5 Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
6 Do not add to His words,
Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.

c) Joshua 1:8 New King James Version (NKJV)

8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
