God Knows Best

By earthenvessel4him

Thank You, LORD, that You know what we need better than we do.  Thank You, LORD, that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to Your purpose.  Thank You, too, that You hear our prayers, and that You tell us to ask and receive that our joy may be full.  Thank You for Your perfect balance, Father.  Thank You for Your Holy Spirit, which You give to those who believe the record You gave us of Your Son Jesus, those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.  Thank You that Your Holy Spirit guides us.  Thank You that Your Holy Spirit guides us even as we pray.  Help us to ask according to Your will, Father.  Put Your desires for us in our hearts, that our desires are a reflection of Your desires, that we may ask and receive and give thanks unto You with hearts full of gratitude and joy.

Thank You, Father, for loving us so much that You put our well-being above our wants when doing so is for our own good.  You will not suffer us to be tempted above that we are able.  Bring our will into agreement with Your will, O LORD.  Help us to honor You and glorify You in all that we do.  Help us to always be thankful and mindful of You.  Help us to always seek first Your kingdom, and Your righteousness.  Thank You that You make it easy for us by giving us the commandment to love You with all our hearts and to love our neighbor as ourselves, and that if we do these things, we will be doing what we should.  Thank You that You make it so clear to us.  Help us to live that now, LORD, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
