The prayer devotion of day 4 is titled “I Love The Lord”. The title hit me hard before I even read anything today. Do I really love the Lord? Does my life reflect my love for God and His plan for me?
Psalm 116:1-2 says, “I love the Lord because He hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!”
The thought that God himself wants to know me and wants to listen to me when I pray is amazing! It is hard to picture God bending down to me like we would bend down to talk to a child. But according to scripture, that is exactly what He does when we talk to Him.
We pray to Him for healing in our life or someone we love. We pray for a job situation to change. We pray for a relationship to end or to take the next step. We pray for victory over a secret sin or ongoing temptation. The truth is, He wants to act in our lives, but unlike us, He wants us more than He wants the thing to come to pass. The action for Him is easy. We want the blessing more than the blesser.
Pray today to want the blesser more!
