"The one passion of Paul's life was to proclaim the gospel of God. He welcomed heartbreak, disillusionment, and tribulation for only one reason - these things kept him unmovable in his devotion to the gospel of God."
I don't pray for an easy life anymore. I pray for a life totally centered on God. Then I ask Him to help me really mean that prayer! :)
Psalm 1:3
"He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers."
"He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers."
God calls Himself "living water". I want to be planted wherever He is. He is ALL I need. There is no good in me apart from Him. Any fruit seen is only because of Him. I only want to make Him happy... that is TRUE prosperity to me!
Proverbs 1:7
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline."
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline."
Proverbs 1:8
"Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching."
"Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching."
I pray that I have a healthy fear/respect of who He is. I don't want to be flippant about Him or what He does.
I pray that my children will have soft hearts towards Him. That they would learn and obey His voice. I pray that their hearts would be bent towards obedience and wisdom. I pray their obedience begins with us! :) I pray that we can be the parents God desires us to be.
