WHAT SHOULD I REQUEST?

Today's reading: Hosea 8-14

"O Lord, what should I request for your people?.." Hosea 9:14 NLT

Too often in our hurry to pray for someone, we forget to ask God's guidance in our prayers.

We tend to present God with a wish-list of what we'd like to see done, what they have asked for themselves or what would make our praying look mighty and powerful.

But what about what the Lord wants? What will bring Him the most glory and honor? What might we pray that would help us get through the situation and on to the lesson He would have us learn about Him?

I'm thinking I need to re-word my prayers.

I'm needing to invite the Holy Spirit into my prayer needs, my heartfelt requests and my desires.

Lord, what will you have me ask for? What will you have me hear You say? How will You lead my time spent with You?
