When you speak to teachers or parents for advice do you ask questions wanting a particular answer? Do you ask Mum questions like “is it a good idea for me to drop science at college?” And when the answer isn’t what you want to hear you might move on and ask Dad the same question. What is our hope when we do this? Do we hope for the right answer, or do we just want the answer that we want to hear? All too often when we pray to our God for guidance we do the same thing, we pray telling him what to do. We don’t pray asking him to guide us, we pray asking him to OK what we want to do. We should remember that there is no one wiser then our God, our God knows everything. I want to keep this short today, because I think it would be a good idea for both you and me to take a little longer to pray to our God and let him do the talking.
