God, on the Day I See You Face to Face, what will I say my greatest regret in life was? Will there be any regret in this life that stands up to Your Glory? I wonder.

God, all the days I have spent not Seeking You, were days spent in Vain. God, there is no Greater Regret than not Having More of You. So then, though You Redeem All things, let my remaining days not be spent in Vain. God, You Are my Satisfaction, May it Ever Be More so. God, Let Your Presence in my life be Ever Growing.

James 4:14 English Standard Version (ESV)

¹⁴ yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

God, what do I Need to Glorify You? Do I need to be better at my job? Do I need a better job? Do I need more people in my life? Do I need a significant other? Do I need to be a better version of myself? God what do I Know about what I Need to Glorify You? Who Truly Knows, but You? God, Add and Take According to Your Goodness, that my life May Be Glorifying to You. Let me not just Know, but Live the Truth that Is Your Word.

Do you ask God for what you need, so you won’t have to Need Him? 

Inspiration:

Why do you ask from Me for things that Only I Am? Why need or want in ways that Are Against Me? Can’t you See, if I Allow your desire, then I also Allow you to Lose Me? Can’t you See, your Need Is Me, and I Give All of Me for you? Can I, In Love, Allow you Death so your desires may be satiated? You may think Me selfish, but My Love for you Is too Great to Allow you this. So nothing I Will Give you that will Take you from Me, for only By Me Do you Have Life. Ask then In My Name and Life Eternal Is yours, and all that you Ask Will Be Given you. In Love, I Give, I Take, and I Withhold. Take then My Love, that you May Receive Fully all things.

Sometimes, and maybe more often than not, it is not that we can’t Hear God but rather can’t Accept His Answer. 

Don’t keep Praying the same Prayer if God has Answered already. Sometimes we may be tempted to have God Turn His No to a yes, or His Yes to a no. And sometimes, we will see that His No, is in Fact a delayed Yes. But we can not and should not try to force God’s Hand, or bend His Will to ours. Some Answers God Gives Are so Bitter that it Sours the Soul, yet we must Learn to Take Them as Blessings. Trust God’s Goodness. Don’t try to make lemonade from Lemons, God Gives as He Intends. And, don’t wait until the Bitterness passes before Worshiping God, Worship God as you are. You’ll Find the Bitterness Turn Sweet all the more quickly then. There will be times where you can’t understand God’s Will. And where you might even question the goodness, fairness, and justice of His Will. In these moments, all the More so, Trust in God’s Goodness. Before Seeing, Is Trust. So Ask God to Increase your Trust in Him, so that you can See His Goodness, and the Goodness of His Will. With Seeing then, Is Sweetness. 

If you can’t Hear God. Ask God to Change your Heart, so that you can Accept His Will. Ask God to Increase your Trust in His Goodness, so that you can Live your Life According to His Sovereignty without missing a beat. 

God, I Pray that You Provide for my needs. Yet my needs seem to include everything but You. God, Show me that All I Need Is You. Let my heart not be Dismayed by lacking the world, while Being Full With You. 

God, regardless of the bitter things you Throw my way, I’ll Remain True and Trust You More. Not because I am faithful, but because You Are Faithful.

God, I  say Your Will Be Done. Yet, secretly, I ask for You to Fill my cup first before I go and Do Your Will. God, Teach my Heart that You Are What Fills my Cup. Let Your Will Be Done, as I Am Full of You. 

Prayer:

God, I am a Broken vessel. What You Pour In me, seeps out from me like a cracked cup; yet, You Continue to Pour Out Your Love Into me, that I May Be Full. The Infinite Nature of Your Love and Grace, I will never Fully Know.

How quickly do I become Empty, when I refuse Your Love. And how Quick are You to Fill my Cup, when I Open my hands. May my Heart be Ever Open to Your Love, that I may Never Know Emptiness.

Knowing more than what we Need to, to Please God, is the biggest cause of senseless suffering. Know, God Is More than Sufficient in life. Trust God, Know God, Live life. 

Prayer: 

God let me not chase wisdom or knowledge of the world, such things are fleeting. Instead, Let my Trust and Knowing of You Grow. Let me not concern myself with the best way to live in this world, but Trust You Are The Best. To Know You, is to Know all I Need to know.

God, my problems I wish not victory over, rather I Long to Be Won By You.

God, You Give me Exactly Enough to Do Your Will, no more and no less. Why does that bring me fear and anxiety rather than Joy and Peace? God, Let me Trust in Your Goodness, and Sufficiency. Let Your Will Be my Desire.
