James, Day 7

How do we understand and ask for what we want? Read James 4:1-12.

So often, our prayers to God become a laundry list of things that we want. We come to God like we go to the grocery store with our list and expect to be able to pick up everything immediately. However, God is not a grocerystore or buffet line.

Humility is the key. When we humble ourselves to God, our requests become in line with what God is asking for. We want what pleases him, not what pleases ourselves.

Are we coming to God with humility and putting his desires above our own. His desires are holy, ours are not. Humble yourself before the Lord.
