I Keep Asking

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength. Ephesians 1:17-19

Are you one who perseveres in prayer and believe sometime you will in fact have the answer? It is hard to wait isn’t it? 

You may have prayed the verse above as a prayer for loved ones to come to know Jesus better and want a close relationship with him. Never give up crying out to God. The voices of the world we live in may clamor for your attention to distract you from your heavenly goal of walking and living for Jesus.

Seek to be close to Jesus when you spring out of bed each day. Don’t go run for the remote and saturate yourself with worldly news and shows but set time aside to worship and adore God and have prayer.

As you make Christ a daily priority you will more and more have little desire for earthly things. As the song lyrics of the 80’s praise song ‘Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus’ says “and the things of Earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.” Give it a try.

PRAYER:You are marvelous above all else Lord and I desire that those I love and am close to to want more of you in their lives. Make the attractions and lure of this present world less and you become greater. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
