God’s Will & Prayer

God’s Will and Prayer

When children first start to color they have two problems. First they might choose colors that are inappropriate. Secondly once the colors are chosen they have a difficult time keeping the colors within the boundary lines. As they mature and keep on coloring they learn to keep within the guidelines and to choose the appropriate color resulting in a satisfying picture.

As children of our Heavenly Father our prayer life often resembles a child’s coloring. At first we don’t know what to pray for nor do our prayers stay within the guidelines of His will. As we mature and continue praying though we pray for the right things and stay within His will resulting in a satisfying prayer life. ── Michael P. Green《Illustrations for Biblical Preaching》
