For God?

~~~ James 4:13-17 ~~~ Psalm 49 ~~~ Mark 9:38-40 ~~~

“If the Lord wills it, we shall live to do this or that.”

Asking God for your personal wants and needs
is never a waste of you time...
It is spiritually healthy to engage
 in a prayer of conversation with God.

What we often fail to remember is that
God answers our prayers if it is his will.

God answers our prayers every day in
 more ways than we know.
We are usually looking for the answers
to appear as we have imagined them in our mind.

Had it been the will of the Father,
Jesus might have been spared some of his pain and agony.
But as we know Jesus was willing to accept
 the Father's answer.

...you have no idea what your life will be like tomorrow.

Since we do not know what our life will be like tomorrow
perhaps our prayers should be broad and global.

What if today was your last day?
Would you change your
prayer of conversation with God?
Would you pray for others?
Would you pray for yourself?

Would you want God to give you multiple
choices for the following day?
How would that change your prayer life?

...whoever is not against us is for us.

As we pray we must never think that God
would ever be against us.

No matter what we say or do God
will always be for us.

All the good we do in our life confirms
that we are for God.

If you are for God no one can be against
 you in the eyes of God.

When we are for God we know to do the right thing.
God sends us his Spirit to bless us with wisdom.

Be for God today, because we do not know
 what tomorrow will bring.

What we do know is that our prayers
 are answered according to the will of the Lord.

He alone knows what our soul needs
most to become more holy.

~~~ Blessings and Peace ~~~
