At church this morning the sermon was about persistence in prayer and Gods righteousness. I realized that there are a lot of things in my life that I have given up on and stopped praying about. Sometimes God answers prayers with No and sometimes Not Yet and other times Yes, Go For It. I've decided I need to examine my heart and prayers more thoroughly so that I am seeking Gods will and not personal comfort. A lot of times I am pretty shallow in my prayers and a lot of times I overlook the deeper issues in my life. While at the same time asking God why I have these problems. Anyways I need to abandon my own desires and set my heart on pursuing Gods. I will be praying more this week and about things that really matter in the sight of eternity.
Also, I gotta stop this whole being prideful thing so that I can pursue glorifying Gods Kingdom without seeking my own self righteous glorification. Even with this blog I have the "Hey look at me" attitude, when it should always be "Hey look at God use the most broken tool He could find and still He brings glory to Himself". Yes I deem it appropriate to call myself a tool.
God is working on my heart, I'm getting ready to pray meaningful prayers, and a prideful tool is just a fool.
