DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 50; Psalm 30; Matt. 27:27-44
Unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Ephesians 3:20
We often cannot help our own thoughts when we pray, but we should try to abandon them if we can. We are praying to a God that does not think like we do. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith 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). I often pray for something yet in my mind I think it is impossible. I should think about the God I am praying to, who can do “above all that I can ask or think.” All things are possible with Him. —Harold G. Smith
I long to know Thy will and Thy way;
Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray. —Albert Reitz
