“If God’s grace doesn’t help the builders, they will labor in vain to build a house. If God’s mercy doesn’t protect the city, all the sentries will circle it in vain.” Psalms 127:1 TPT
If there ever was a day when you and I must know God’s will and purpose for our lives it’s now. In fact, if you’re going to keep up, you must know God’s perfect plan for your life and how to carry it out in His power!
How do you do that? Through prayer. God has provided us a prayer pattern in His word that we can use to receive the wisdom and understanding we need for this critical time we live in. This can be found in Colossians 1:9-11.
“For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;” Colossians 1:9-11 NKJV
This is a Holy Ghost inspired prayer that will not only enable you to know what God’s will is, but to have the wisdom and understanding to carry it out. You and I should pray this prayer for ourselves every day.
The challenge is that we get a glimpse of God’s will for our lives but then mess things up by trying to carry it out in the flesh. Instead of letting God build the house in His power, we try to build it ourselves and end up doing it all in vain.
Don’t make that mistake, pray this prayer and God will fill you with His knowledge and understanding.
Shalom!
