My own little PRAYER to GOD:
May people turn to you,
that they may know your will,
and be saved.
It took me a long time to know the perfect prayer.
On prayers that get answered.
Until JESUS taught me.
And now, I know.
JESUS always leads by example.
Look how He focused on the will of GOD:
Matthew 6:9-10
King James Version
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.
Look at what the SPIRIT of GOD does:
Romans 8:26-27
King James Version
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not what we should pray for
as we ought:
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts
knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit,
because he maketh intercession for the saints
according to the will of God.
It's never about our will, but GOD's.
That's how our prayers get answered.
A true revelation!
1 John 5:14-15
King James Version
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him,
that, if we ask any thing according to his will,
he heareth us:
That's why it's probably the greatest challenge to man.
This thing about bowing down to GOD's will.
Scripture reveals man in perpetual rebellion.
Thus, the world is the way it is.
Our only hope is in JESUS.
Who showed us what obedience is.
Philippians 2:8
King James Version
8 And being found in fashion as a man,
he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross.
It's really time to know GOD's will.
That we may be worthy of the LORD.
Ephesians 5:17
King James Version
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise,
but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
