| | You can pray according to the Word of God.
On many specifics, you do not know what is best, so you must be careful. I
hear people praying for their adult children to do this or that. I hear people pray
that someone else would get a particular job.
I hear people pray that so-and-so would move to a particular area.
I hear people pray that someone would marry or not marry a certain person.
The problem is, often this is not prayer that lines up with the Mind of God.
I pray for things I do not know God will give, but I am very careful when praying
about the lives of others. With rare exceptions, I only know what I see. I may
have an opinion that rings well with my experience, but I have only a tiny worm's-
eye view of what can be.
I must pray about the situation so that Power is released and Redemption is
applied.
Hallelujah for the indwelling Holy Spirit. |
