Level Ground

We all face tough decisions from time to time. We have faced several in our lives recently. It is hard to know what to pray, which way to pray, in some situations. I always want to pray for GOD'S will but, sometimes, it is hard to see. And, I have probably shared before that I am a Gideon type of person, I need GOD to give me a sign, an assurance, that I understand.

So, how do you pray, what do you pray for, when you don't really know what to pray for? (I know you don't end a sentence/question with a preposition, but you get the gist). So, what do you ask GOD, what do you say to GOD when you don't really know for what you should ask? Great question...

Today's word is Psalm 143:10, NASB, which reads, "Teach me to do Your will, for You are my GOD; let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground."

When we don't know what to pray, we ask GOD to teach us His will. We ask Him to show us His will. We ask Him to give us a peace to understand and accept His will. We know that He is GOD and He knows everything, and He is working all things for our good, so we can trust that His will is for our good. I have shared before that I don't always understand GOD'S ways, and I don't have to, but I pray that I will have the grace and faith to accept His will.

If we will pray for GOD'S will and walk in His ways, He will lead us on level ground. It is hard to walk up mountains all the time. We grow tired and weary. It is hard to walk down mountains all the time. We can lose balance and begin to race downhill, until we stumble and fall. But, if we will seek GOD'S will and do it, He will keep us walking on level ground.

Be Blessed,
