Wanting What God Wants

Proverbs 16:1-2 - “People make plans in their hearts. But the Lord controls what they say. Everything a man does might seem right to him. But the Lord knows what that man is thinking.”

Psalm 37:4 - “Enjoy serving the Lord, and he will give you what you want.”

Today’s Helpful Thought: God says in the Bible that He will give us the things we really, really want. But for that to happen, we have to want the things that God wants. He will not give us what we want if those things are bad. God gives us things that are right and true and good, things that make Him happy. We can know these things and know what He likes by reading the Bible. We need to want what God wants!

Today’s Prayer: Dear Lord, You are the One I want to be in charge of my life! You know me and all of my feelings and all of my thoughts. Please show me the things that You want and the things You want to happen in my life. Please show me what You think and feel and want for me so that I can be more like You. God, please help the things that I want to come true. Help those things to come true, while I live a life that makes You happy.
