Most of us will go to great lengths to ask God to go along with our plans. We spend time thinking about and pleading for God to do what we think is best. But how often do we go to God to ask Him what He thinks is best? Are we as focused on hearing God’s thoughts and plans as we are on telling Him ours? Are we as passionate about pursuing His vision as we are on pursuing our own?
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.—Colossians 4:2
Prayer: God, may we be as devoted to watchful prayer as we are to praying for You to meet our needs. Open our eyes and ears so that we can join You in what You are doing. May we go to great lengths to pursue Your calling, like Jesus, who gave Himself wholly to accomplishing our salvation. We pray in His name, as humble and grateful recipients of His passion, amen.
