PRAYER FOR TODAY - July 17, 2013 (Laying Down Our List To Pick Up God's Plan)

So often we walk through life giving God our list.   Our list of what we want and what we feel we need.   But are we quiet and still enough to know what God wants and what He needs us to do for Him.   Are we seeking His will through His word.    We have to stop making our own list and to begin to list out and check off what God is seeking from us.   Our willingness, our obedience, our faithfulness.    We have to understand  ... if we walk in these thing ... willingness, obedience, faithfulness ... we won't have to list out our wants and our desires.   They will begin to come automatically.    

Father help us to seek you.   Help us to seek your word, your wisdom, and your way.   Father help us to lay aside self and to pick up your purpose and your plan.    Father show us your ways.   Unveil and reveal to us your plan for our lives.   Father we need you.  Father we want to do it your way.   We want to live for you and rest in you.   So Father we are asking for your help right now.  We surrender all to you.   Our lives completely to you.    Help us now Father ... in Jesus name we do pray.   Amen.
