My King.
Your thoughts are not my thoughts; neither are Your ways my ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are Your ways and thoughts higher than mine.
Help me to rejoice as I ponder how great You are. I marvel at the wonder of being able to commune with You–the King of the universe–any time, any place! Please don’t ever let me take this amazing prayer-privilege for granted.
Even though You are infinitely higher and greater than I am,
You’re training me to think Your thoughts. As I spend time in Your Presence-reading Your Word and praying -Your thoughts gradually form in my mind. I realize that Your Spirit is the Director of this process. He guides my mind while I’m waiting in Your Presence, making plans or mulling over problems. Sometimes He brings specific Bible verses to mind just when I need them.
These communications strengthen me and prepare me for whatever is before me on my life-path. Lord, spending time with You has blessed me far more than I dared to ask or even imagine!
In Your majestic Name, Jesus, Amen.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-9
“Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.”
Colossians 4:2
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”
John 14:26
