What are you asking for God?

What are you asking for God? What are your prayer concerns these days?

When we see around, the people are asking God for many things; blessings, riches, etc. Nothing wrong in blessings but what we really need for life? Let us listen to Solomon and David for some wisdom;

Solomon says in Proverb 30:7-9, “two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread”. 

• Keep falsehood and lies far from me
• Give me neither poverty nor riches

Solomon, the richest man ever lived on this earth prayed this prayer and this is his advice for us to follow. And it shows daily depends on God. He is not asking for bread for a week and for a long period. Lord, let me depend on you every day- give me only my daily bread. Jesus taught us to pray this way “Give us this day our daily bread”

David says in Psalm 27:4, one thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and see him in his temple.

•  I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life

Solomon and David knew what really matter in life and this is the prayer of priority. When we give our life priority for Jesus; there will so much of joy and peace with in us.

Let us examine our lives; what are you asking for God these days? 

Lord, help us to pray this prayer every day!
