Doing the Will of God

"When you are rightly related to God, it is a life of freedom and liberty and delight, you are God's will, and all your common-sense decisions are His will for you unless He checks."

Oswald Chambers; The Utmost for His Highest- March 20th

This devotional helped me to realize the purpose of prayer in my life. By meeting the trinity in prayer, my heart becomes aligned with God's will. Most of the time, this brings me to a place of peace and understanding of where my life is going with God's help. When I find that there is confusion in my life, it is reason to pray all the more.

The purpose of prayer is not just to ask and it will be given, but rather to seek the face of God. Prayer aligns us with God's will. It brings us to a place of friendship with God that is unmatched. As with any friend, the more time we invest in getting to know them, the deeper our relationship becomes, and we operate with ease around them. The same is true of God. A friendship with God needs to be nourished through prayer. As we tend to the relationship, our heart and His heart are joined, and our decisions become much more apparent. So, I challenge you, if you are struggling to find God's will in your life, pray. Pray and develop a deep abiding relationship with God. Let this be the motivation for your prayer life. Listen, mediate on His words, and ask a little later.
