“The only thing wrong with
your prayer is that it isn’t in line with God’s will.”
KEY VERSE: Luke 22:42
God
doesn’t always give us the things we lack. But He often gives us what we need.
While you can survive without the things you lack, the things you need are
usually essential. When God told Solomon to ask for whatever he wanted. Solomon
said he was a little child who needed wisdom. And because he asked for what he
needed; God answered his prayer. God was so pleased with Solomon’s request
because he didn’t pray for long life, wealth or the death of his enemies (1
Kings 3:11). In other words, Solomon was more concerned with the gift that
would help him fulfill God’s will.
If
God isn’t answering your prayers, don’t think He isn’t there. Perhaps, you’ve
left out what you need and have been praying for what God knows isn’t necessary
at the moment. Maybe, the only thing wrong with your prayer is that it isn’t in
line with God’s will. You may currently lack a job, a car or money to settle
your debts. However, what you might need at the moment is to align yourself
with God’s plan for you. Perhaps, God wants to get your attention so He can
equip you for a great assignment.
Prayer/Confession: Heavenly Father, give me what you would like
me to have. Amen.
