How is my prayer life going?
Psalm 143:1 (142:1 LXX)
O Lord, hear my prayer; Give ear to my supplication in Your truth;
Answer me in Your righteousness;
Personal Challenge
Does God answer my prayers? Always! Do I recognize these answers? Not as often as I should! There is a very valuable truth about proper prayer in this little nugget, "my supplication in Your truth". I can pray and pray for all the things that I want from God. Any many of these things may be good and proper things. But if I am truly walking in Christ, living my life close to Him, being obedient and submissive to Him, then He will reveal to me those things that I should be praying for. I will then be praying in His truth. This is when I truly see His answers in righteousness. This is when I accept His "No" answers as readily as His "Yes" answers. A true Christian life is lived within Him, for Him, by Him, with all abandonment of self and love of this world. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!
