Be Thou My Vision
Lately God has been reminding me of that hymn, Be Thou My Vision. In the lyrics it says, "Thou my best thought by day or by night; waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light..."
God is a jealous God. He does not want his children to worship other gods or any "uncertain riches" 1Tim6:17. My heart is prone to wander. To wake up thinking of work to do, people to meet, errands, goals to achieve, etc. where can God be in all my time? His thoughts, His Word, should always be with me as I work, as I meet people, as I do my errands for the day and my goals to achieve.
Last night, I've learned to pray for God's will. To ask, "Lord, Thy will be done." That prayer Jesus taught His disciples in Matthew 6, is loaded with many lessons. Prayer is not just about petitions to God, it's leaning towards Him. God's plan will be as it will be but God commanded us to pray because in prayer, we are transformed to think, desire and do His will.

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
Romans 12:2
