Luke 11:13
If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!
This morning at church our guest pastor shared with us the value of prayer. When we pray we create an intimacy with God to help Him fulfill His purpose for us.
We begin our prayers as Jesus taught the disciples to pray, Our Father who art in Heaven. First to focus on His majesty, power and what He has done for us. His face should be our focus and who He is, not His hands and what He can give us.
When we begin with how amazing He is, it stops us from questioning His goodness & His ability to take care of us.
1st focus = He is worthy
2nd focus = I am needy

I don't know about you but my prayer life is not where it should be. I'm taking all of this into account and really focusing on God's purpose and His greatness this week.
May you be blessed this week as you find God's plan for your life is better than anything you ever ask for.
