I have a couple emails I get a day with little bible studies in them, and the one I got today really got my attention. The title was "Are you asking God the wrong question?" I stopped and thought about my prayer life before I even started and knew I asked him the wrong thing daily, it still is a controlling question when I present it. I dont always believe he is in ultimate control. As I began to read the first verse said " Cease striving and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10
Everyday "I" let me say that again "I" strive to grow closer to God, and to be more like him. But "I" fail because I am not the Creator of myself, I am not the one who is in control. It is him who gives us the ability to strive toward those things. It is his grace that is the only thing that will ever make me enough.
"His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness. 2 Peter 1:3
Instead of asking "God what do you want FROM me today" in others words how do you want me to preform. We need to ask "God what do you want FOR me today." He wants us to feel his love, experience his grace, and live in close relationship as we live and move throughout the day.
" For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, We are his offspring." Acts 17"28
