Less of ME . . . A spiritual weight loss is needed!

I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may KNOW that you have eternal life. This is the CONFIDENCE we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know we have what we asked of Him. (1 John 5:13-15)

Many times we feel as though our prayers are going nowhere . . .and that's probably true! We get into ruts and habits with everything in life, even our prayers. While we know that we can approach God directly because of the blood of Christ, we must do him humbly and respectfully. We cannot treat Him casually! He is not Santa . . .He is GOD after all!!!! To get in tune with the WILL of God we must be in tune with the WORD of God. We get to know His character, His plans for us, and what He would have us to do. Simply based upon His character, we can many times discern what we should be doing. As we grow closer to Him, we begin to realize how to please Him and what would please Him. As we align with His will, He will the new begin to orchestrate our lives accordingly. May I suggest to ask for nothing more than more time with Him? As we spend quality time with our Daddy, our wants become less important and our desires are to please Him and not ourselves. My prayer is that we all seek God more and "me" less. (John 3:30)
