“And bids me at my Father’s throne Make all my wants
and wishes known!
What are we to do when we pray to God? We are to tell Him
everything. Every need. Every concern. Every wish. Every blessing. Everything.
We don’t always do that. When we hurt, sometimes it is hard
to express our need in words. Sometimes only tears can express what we are
feeling.
When we’ve done wrong, it’s hard to confess words that make
us cry now.
We can aways thank God for our blessings. That’s easy. When
something good happens, the first thing we should do in our mind and heart is
say, “Thank you, God!”
It seems to be easiest for us to tell God all we want and
wish to have. Self wants are hard to keep quiet. He wants us to tell Him. But how do we express
those wishes and wants? Hopefully, with respect.
I believe He enjoys giving us wants and wishes, but only if
they agree with His Will.
Enduringword.com: "This is a wonderful and even safe promise. The one who truly delights in the LORD will find his heart and desires changed, steadily aligning with God’s own good desires for his life. Thus we see that finding delight in God is a key to a happy, satisfied life."
Billy Graham said: “One of God’s greatest gifts to us is the privilege of prayer—a privilege that is possible because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. Thank God for the privilege of prayer and learn daily to ‘Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you’ (1 Peter 5:7).”
And, I believe, all our wants and wishes too, for He delights in
blessing us!
By His Grace . . .
