The Toughest Prayer You'll Pray is...?

There are some really hard things you'll call out to God over, but you'll not say anything harder than this... God I want what you want more than what I want....

When Jesus taught on prayer, one of the things he mentioned was for us to pray that just as in heaven God's desires happen without hesitation, may the same be true here on earth. And may God's kingdom be advancing in every heart and life, and may it start in yours and mine.

Easier said than done eh??? Why is that?
One reason that comes to mind is can be a struggle to believe that God will really come through for me if I were to advance His causes over what i want. After all, who knows what's better than you & I correct? To say NO to what i want to happen in the way I think it must happen. Hmmm

Here's one positive reason to consider living a God kingdom first mindset. Living for King Jesus is really the only thing that will make sense of life. To live for the Kingdom of God gives your life purpose and meaning in the span of history.

Jesus came announcing a NEW KINGDOM. There's a NEW KING in CONTROL. Jesus says when you pray, say Father. We must trust that He loves us and really wants what is best for us... and for those we love. For He loves them just as much as He loves us. May His Kingdom agenda advance. May His desires happen and may you and i be the means in which others know of our King, the Lord Jesus!

The Hardest Prayer you'll ever pray is to say as one pastor prayed, "Lord may what's happening up there come down here." May you & I be apart of making it happen!

See You Sunday Friend
