I realize lately that I’ve been praying to God as my Father and as my Friend, asking for His wise advice about certain things (which is not wrong in and of itself). But I’ve neglected to pray to Him as my Lord and as my King, where I ask for His permission. Where He take His rightful place on the throne of my heart. Where He gets the final word.
I was humbled as I prayed to my King not, “Should I do this…?” but “Can I do this…” As I waited for Him to answer, I realized that by praying like this, not only am I telling Him what I desire, I am showing Him that I also care about His desires, even more so than my own.
this just pinched my heart. the utter truth behind this 🙌🏻
