I have always prayed for people, praying exactly what they told me. "Pray for this, pray for that" they would say. Over and over again I have prayed the way my friends had instructed.
Lately, I have been convicted by that. My prayer for my friends is not for their desires to come but God's desires for them. Since God is the author of our lives I leave it to the author to lead them. Of course I pray for healing, restoration, etc. but I genuinely pray that God's will will be done.
Sometimes I feel that God doesn't answer our prayers because the very thing we want is the very thing that will ultimately be bad for us in the long run. We get frustrated and angry with God yet he is protecting us because he see's the future. He sees the road ahead.
Lead me, Lord, into your divine path and into your divine will for my life. Don't let me get in the way of your awesome plan!
