Today’s Scripture…
John 16:24
Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
Thoughts…
Asking in Jesus name at the end of a prayer is not a magic lamp. It is more like asking, “Give me your best Lord. Do what is right for me.” I am sure I am not the only one with a wish list of things I would love God to just hand over to me. The question is are they what is best for me.
I had a pastor who said, “Don’t go praying for a brand new Cadillac on a used Volkswagen budget. Would it be cool to own some vehicle you have always wanted? YES!!! However is it what is best for you? Can you afford the payments? Can you afford the insurance? Can you afford the gas???
It doesn’t hurt to ask God for things. He wants you to ask for your needs and let Him know your wants and desires. He also loves you enough to know what is best for you. He wants to hear you say, “Lord, this is what I would like, but what I want is your best for me In Jesus’ Holy Precious Name. Amen”
Prayer…
Lord, I always want what is best for me and I know you give the best gifts always. Thank you! ~Amen
