For Today . . .

Thinking about:

"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." (Colossians 2:6-7)

Amen - after reading "The Prodigal God" - I have been convicted of being someone who's prayer life with God consists primarily of petition. My new Holy Spirit led prayer priority list consists of:

1. Adoration
2. Thankfulness
3. Praise
4. More Adoration
5. Thankfulness in all circumstances (1 THESS 5)
6. More Praise
7. Petition

Now I don't actually have a list - but I wanted to make a point to myself that I had lost the correct focus and made it all about getting prayers answered the way I thought they should be answered rather than having faith and trust in God that He would have the answers that mattered - all in His perfect, righteous, and often not understandbale ways! I stand in awe of you Jesus!
