His Will

I'm putting off homework until tomorrow. I had wanted to get more done today, but it isn't what I need tonight. I do have time tomorrow to chip away at the to-do list, but I need to contemplate a question tonight.

Do I pray to hear and accept God's will?

Prayer is about God changing us, not us changing God.

I am tempted to sort through my journal tonight to see if I have been asking God to change my circumstances more than I have been asking to know Him and hear and accept His will for my life. Yet, that is not what God is asking of me. He wants me to seek Him.

I know things have been hard and I want to understand why this is God's will for me. Yet I know that faith in Christ is not about getting around things, it is about having a relationship that gets me through things.

I rejoice tonight knowing my God reigns, that no mistake on my part can frustrate God's will. I am not even close to having that kind of power. He will prevail! And so I rejoice that my name is written in heaven and that His will is for my good and His glory. Hallelujah! He is worthy!
