God's priorities


Try praying primarily for God’s priorities—and see what happens!  Here are some examples:
Ask God for more practical insight into scripture so that you can become more godly in character (Ps.119:33,34).
Ask God for better understanding of what God has given you in Christ (Eph.1:16-19) & how much God loves you (Eph.3:18,19) so you can mature spiritually.
Ask God for greater love for other people (1 Thess. 3:12) & better discernment on how to love them effectively (Phil.1:9).
Ask God for opportunities to share your faith, & the courage & wisdom to make the most of those opportunities (Col. 4:3,4; Eph. 6:19,20).
Ask for God to expose sinful attitudes that are hurting you and others and dishonoring God (Ps.139:23,24).
Ask God for wisdom to understand what he wants to teach you through the adverse circumstances he has allowed into your life (Jas.1:5).
